A local rider I know recently got TWO tickets on his bicycle. Be careful in West Milford
Plus was reprimanded for not having proper ID. Ticket 1 failure to keep right. Ticket 2 no bell.

Come on..............this has to be a joke. Right?
I'm sure they could find better things to do with their time like give out distracted driving tickets. Just stand at an intersection in plain clothes and I bet every 3 out of 4 people who stop at the intersection have the phone in their hands. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
 
Geez. I took my bell off my bike when I moved to nj, didn’t know it was required here too.
Also: that’s really lame.
Edit also: this is another reason why I want to get a GoPro to cover myself

I don't think that is actually illegal but I'm always wrong so following the laws of the universe it is now illegal.
 
"No audible signal on bicycle" I can yell louder than my bell without taking my hands off the bars so that's silly.

As for the ID, I always have on me, but is it actually mandatory to carry ID in NJ? I didnt think so but this thread is making me question everything I think I know.

Easy to fight the tickets, especially the failure to keep right.

I'd fight them because fuck that cop.

The reason why he was probably reprimanded was most likely because he didn't break a law.
 
i got an overtime parking ticket today. I let someone picking up a product at the paint store in front of me, and the owner's son couldn't find the price.....
no good deed.....

other than that, it's been good.
 
Having ID is important. I do think it's like nazi germany when the cops ask it for while riding your bike.

The last time I had to deal with ID, We got busted riding South Mtn. Cop freaked out about not having DL or any proof of ID. Lucky for me I know my DL number by memory. He brought that number up, and it shows that my address is a PO box. Now he is all over me, ready to confiscate my then new bike. "Nobody has a po box on a DL" Some how I sweet talked my way into just a fine.. Still pisses me off, but have since adjusted to the fact that having ID is important.
