Wait for it boys I see the day you will all have licensed transponders in your bags, and radio tags in your bike frames...to be inventoried and tracked. Yea the alley cat will become a sanctioned indoor event A la Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huck Jam. The gentrification of the messenger is coming similar to what happened to skateboarding.

i'd love to see the NYPD try to catch anyone riding in monster track. the ensuing chases would end in police cars flipping thru the air, scooters ending up crashed into fruit carts and police hanging like laundry or discarded sneakers from the traffic light arms of lightpoles.

last summer here, i was ticketed on a bike path for no helmet. goddamn cops just hanging out and ticketing people as they came along...can you say quotas!!?? ****!!
anyway, poetic jutice was issued when my ticket was being written a hot girl road by, helmeted, and gave the pigs the finger and yelled "**** cops!"

well hopefully it'll over really quickly......
They used to do it on Montreal every spring but generally left messenger alone as they knew the messers were the slickest things on the street. If it's a regular joe commuter crackdown then so be it. Gonna have to catch me first.... if it's going to cost me fifty buck I want some fun out of it first.

I would love to see a police chase on tv where the cops are trying to catch a dude on a bike... it'd be funny...
the biker would turn and cops turn too but get stuck behind traffic...

...the cops in Chi are totally chill, in my experience (true, they arrested a few people at last week's CritMass, but they weren't charged....plus, they actually corked intersections all along the route). I blow lights, don't signal, etc., in front of cops all the time and they could care less.

Good to know about the crack down. I'll slow down at reds for the next couple weeks I guess. Anyone got Bloomberg's address?
