Breaking: Police Ticketing Cyclists Exiting Williamsburg Bridge

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 whoare pulling over and summonsing every cyclist exiting the bridge. Ifanyone happens to be headed that direction a) be careful and b) try andgrab an image. According to the member, they’ve got cyclists waitingin lines to receive their summonses.
