I wanted to improve on John Del Signore’s Blog today, but instead just decided to send the reader over to laugh at this little Satirical piece :
State Law Would Require Bicycle Licenses for All New Yorkers
Last month, when City Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Queens) proposed a law that would require all adult cyclists in NYC get licenses and register their bicycles, some worried that the legislation didn’t go far enough. For example, what happens when a law-abiding, licensed NYC cyclist crosses over the border line from Queens into Long Island, where unregulated, Mad Maxian bicycle gangs dominate the roads and run over thousands of puppies every day? Wouldn’t the anarchic bicycle lawlessness across the state undermine NYC’s quest for law and order? Just in time, here comes Assemblyman Michael DenDekker to the rescue!
A05429 can be found here and the synopsis states:
Relates to the annual registration of personal bicycles and provides for a license plate fee of twenty-five dollars for the first year and five dollars for every year thereafter.I was all prepared to start encouraging New Yorker’s who oppose A05429 to rally and call Legislators to voice their opinion of this crazy little NIB, when an update was posted – even more humorous than the first:
Reached by phone, DenDekker elaborated on the bill, and said he looks forward to the day when cameras in bake lanes will help identify scofflaw cyclists and hold them to the same standard of accountability as drivers. (We’re assuming motorists and police officersin bike lanes would continue to be exempt from any enforcement.)
So we laugh a bit among ourselves and say “Crazy New Yorkers” – however if you reside within the district and consider A05429 to be a NIB, why not contact New York State Assemblyman DenDekker. This bill is scheduled to be heard today by Transportation Committee Members.
