Breaking: Police Ticketing Cyclists Exiting Williamsburg Bridge

Looks like NYPD is at it again. 

Looks like NYPD is at it again

This just in from T.A.: 

I just received a call from a very angry member informing me that there are three groups of cops at the Manhattan exit of the Williamsburg Bridge who
are pulling over and summonsing every cyclist exiting the bridge. If
anyone happens to be headed that direction a) be careful and b) try and
grab an image. According to the member, they’ve got cyclists waiting
in lines to receive their summonses.
