thx for the link...this will probably help me:

"NOTE: Tickets for riding on the sidewalk fall under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Control Board (ECB). If you are given a ticket or summons that requires you to appear in criminal court instead, you should be able to get the ticket thrown out for lack of jurisdiction."

i'm not even sweating it. the ironic thing i saw today was a delivery guy bike on a busy sidewalk to a cop and ask him for direction. the cop pointed him to the right direction and the delivery guy proceed to bike down sidewalk again w/o any warning or a ticket. while i get a summon for biking in a deserted street in front of my apt. building...does this make sense to u?

the 2 cops that wrote me the ticket looks like they just came out of the cadet school. sometimes i dont know what the deal is, either their ego or they have a bad day and have to act like an ahole. they sure don't teach u common sense from cadet school.
