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.
