Fantastic reporting, @Lenton58. Thank you so much.

NYC now has a high cyclist population compared with the past and compared with other U.S. cities. Wrong way cycling has become a huge problem. Law enforcement for some cycling infractions has increased but not for wrong way cycling! I'd prefer if they enforced that law alone and left the others, until this problem subsides. I had a really tough time last week on a major avenue, avoiding many wrong way cyclists in a six mile trip. A couple of times I have stopped and blocked the cyclist entirely, but I'm not really the right messenger for this message.
