New York City has sent over 6000 cyclists to criminal court. Some say they are being treated unfairly. (bronx.news12.com)

So uh, if you break the law a ticket seems pretty appropriate. I ride an E-bike to work. I stop at stop signs and red lights, I don't ride on the sidewalk.

If you make the same violation in a car, you get a traffic ticket. In a bicycle, you go to criminal court. This is why this is considered unfair.

I’m pretty sure you’d get a bit more than a traffic ticket if you drove a car on the sidewalk.
