Bike lane crash video rolls to national sensation
Casey Neistat's ticket for NOT biking in the bike lane cost him $50.
The video he produced to protest the fine has earned him a fortune in fame.
A filmmaker living in New York, Neistat went about bashing himself into obstacles in bike lanes all over the city, ending with a pratfall into a police squad car. More than 1 million viewers have clicked on his work and the story has been picked up by The Associated Press and news outlets across the country.
Wisconsin law requires bicyclists to ride as far to the right as practicable, but does not require use of a bike lane if one is available.

if bikers aren't gonna use them?
There are plenty of obstacles in roadways too... should car drivers just
crash into them to prove a point?

like a game of Frogger and anyone that makes it more dangerous or
difficult for a cyclist should not be allowed to reproduce.
It was my understanding that cyclists could take up a whole lane if they
wanted to, but I guess that's not the case in New York.
How people can be so anti-bicycle is beyond me...

Last week in Brookfield a bicyclist actually stopped for the stoplight. I put my window down and thanked him for actually obeying the law! I guess the only way to encourage good behaviour is to thank those that actually realize the laws of the road apply to them. Thank your law-abiding bicyclist and maybe we will have a saner, harmonious existence!
