New data released by the NYPD shows over 6,000 criminal summonses issued to cyclists in the second quarter of 2025. That number increased tenfold compared to the first quarter. That number is also greater than the total number of criminal summonses issued to cyclists in the past seven years.
When was the last time you road a bicycle on a busy roadway ? Bikes are not vehicles.

Bikes are very much vehicles legally.
I suppose most of us seem to agree on the following:
Bikes are vehicles, and Cars are vehicles.
But we seem to be divided on, are bikes cars.
I think the question has become, are bikes cars?
From the definition of a vehicle it’s something that is used to transport people or goods, and a vehicle can be “self power” or “human powered”.
By definition rollerblades are vehicles.
Now I think the question becomes (for people that see bikes as cars)
Are people on bikes allowed to use the full lane of a roadway, just as any vehicle that is classified as a car would?
Basically every place in the US, the answer is emphatically “yes”.
