Default NYC Bike Laws (was: Stand UP! for TIME'S UP! -- and for YOUR Freedoms)

http://www.times-up.org/bike_legal_faq.php

That is not a legal refereance at all.

The man said "handy resource", not legal reference. However,
he does quote the applicable state and city statutes. So
where's the problem?


=v= The problem is a cowardly anonymous troll who's not really
interested in productive or accurate discussion. But thank you
for pointing that out.

=v= The document is exactly what it says it is: a FAQ, based on
actual frequently-asked questions. It has links to online legal
documents and a bit of an explanation (with footnotes) about the
complicated interaction of state and city laws.

=v= The explanation was necessary because it's not spelled out
in the laws. If it's a legal reference you're looking for, you
can slog through the briefs from last December's federal case.
There's a link to a site with a bunch of PDFs on this page:

http://www.times-up.org/legal_newswire.php

(Near the bottom, next to the 11/2/2004 entry.) This is where
the explanation came from, and the city conceded in that case
that certain state laws that they were trying to enforce were
not applicable in the city. (Anyone who is truly interested
in this -- and isn't just anonymously trolling -- should buy
a copy of the transcript of the hearing.)
