VARIETY Timothee Chalamet gets 65 pound-$79.18 ticket in London

New York City's own Tim Chalamet was issued a $79.18 ticket for riding his bike illegally in London while in transit to the premier of "A Complete Unknown" in which he is a favorite to capture an Oscar. At least London acknowledges celebrity in an even handed way. No mention is made of Bob Dylan offerring to pay for the ticket.*************https://variety.com/2025/film/news/timothee-chalamet-bike-fine-complete-unknown-london-premiere-1236275306/

AM METRO NYC "Chase brake" NYPD COMM Tisch on NYPD street pursuits

NYPD Tisch is really making an effort to revamp aspects of the NYPD. Much needed.With NYC already dense and with The City of Yes rezoning for greater density the policy on street chases by the cops is being changed. Less vehicular chasing. What will this mean for the lawless environment we endure due to bikes and micro transport? Will Tisch be given the green light to enforce the law in a sustained effective manner to restore a much needed element of safety and sanity?*************https://www.amny.com/new-york/nypd-commissioner-tisch-bars-street-pursuits/

Cops Protecting Children from Rogue Riding-Asser Levy School

This morning-Jan 2 2025-Thursday there were 2 groups of NYPD stopping cyclists on First Avenue between 11th and 12th Streets fronting Asser Levy Grade school. When Officer Kwok was questioned what was being done he said that the school had complained that the bikes heading north and against traffice south were endangering the school children-and the adults as well. If the death and danger of seniors is not enough to motivate the city to constructive enforcement perhaps the mauling of youngsters is enough to jog the conscience of the zealots and derelict electeds.

Priscilla's Law-City Council

Prior to the holidays a Hearing was held at the City Council to gage public opinion on Priscilla's Law. That to license and regulate e-bikes and other motorized-non auto vehicles. By a ratio of about 4 to 1 the testimony was in favor of passing Priscilla's Law. The Chair of the Transportation Committee was so innured to the danger posed by the lawless e-bikes that he left the Hearing way early. Shame on Senior Ydanis Rodrieguez. Reports are that many more people were prepared to testify but the extended wait time did not allow them to dawdle. Also apparently Adrienne Adams who chairs the CC is not in favor or this opportunity to bring a modicum of safety and sanity to the streets and sidewalks. Who do we have representing the people?
