Casey Neistat is a New York bicyclist who got a ticket from some moronic New York City police officer who felt that Casey should ride in the bike lane… no matter what. So the camera-wielding rider made a video about the whole affair and why the cop was totally wrong. But look at this drooling goober hired by New York to wear a uniform. If this is the standard of police intelligence in good old NY, then god help those poor island dwellers! A bicyclist can be killed by staying in a bike lane, as this video so clearly illustrates. You do not have to stay inside a bike lane. Bikes are legally entitled to occupy traffic lanes if the rider determines that to be the safest course.

Animation: A Bicycle Trip
Here’s a short animated film from Italy by Lorenzo Veracini, Nandini Nambiar and Marco Avoletta. Every trip on a bike should be such a good trip as this. I love the glass trees near the end.
There is also a web site for the film.
