#23: Biking Over the Speed Limit
Traffic in New York City can be really wild and stressful, which is why a lot of people choose to walk or bike to get around. It’s not something that a lot of people think about, but bike riders have to be monitored for speeding just like car drivers do! Imagine running into a bike going super fast down a busy sidewalk. No thank you! Some bike riders think they’re above it all, though.
This bike rider thought they were above the law and basically said so when a cop told her to slow down. She wanted to know what would happen if she didn’t. She then went on to explain how awesome she was for riding a bike. Yes, it’s great she’s reducing her carbon footprint and working out while getting around, but that doesn’t mean she’s above the law! Here’s hoping the cop wasn’t too offended and didn’t give her a ticket for speeding.
