Tell it to the guy who has to scrape your brains off the sidewalkI don't really know how they could enforce something like that, because not every cyclist that travels through NYC is actually from there.
As far as the bicycle helmets? Personally, I think it is a good idea. Why? Because you are 3 feet off the ground, traveling at 10 mph or greater. Most decent cyclists are able to cruise at the 17 to 25 mph range, and falling 3 feet off of your bike at 10 to 25 mph can cause serious damage to your skull. I have ridden a bicycle since 1986 at the level of a racer, and have had a couple of accidents where if I hadn't been wearing a helmet, I might not be here today.
Life is, above all things, a very temporary situation. In the grand scheme of things, a tootsie roll pop has more permanence than a human life.
No matter how many rules we pass, how many things we ban, or how hard we wish it were otherwise, we can't change that.
It should be everyone's own choice how much fun they have going out. Wear a helmet, don't wear a helmet ... personal freedom, y'all.
If you are traveling along at 15 mph or more, and not wearing a helmet, you aren't the brightest crayon in the box.
Or ... you're just worried about having helmet hair.

A decent cyclist can have a cruising speed anywhere from 17 to 25 mph. For many years, my cruising speed was around 22 mph. And, while it may sound like a good idea for bicycles to ride on the sidewalk, it's really not, because not only do you have to deal with pedestrians, but it is damn near impossible to get any kind of speed on a sidewalk.
Believe it or not, but riding on the side of the road, in the same direction traffic is flowing is the safest way to ride.

Actually, most of the time when a car passes me, they are still in their original lane, and I usually only have a couple of feet to maneuver in. And, to tell you the truth, even in heavy traffic times here in Amarillo, nobody ever has to slow down because of me.
As far as the guy riding at night that you could barely see? That is a representative of the minority of cyclists. I personally wear day glow colored jerseys in all sorts of neon colors that you can see for at least a mile. And, when I go out at night, I have lights on my bike that blink in a really off beat pattern that is guaranteed to get the attention of anyone behind me. And, they are super bright LEDs that can be seen for around a half mile at night. I also have a jacket for night time riding that is made of 100 percent reflective material. A headlight hits my jacket, you can DEFINITELY see me.
As far as flipping people off? I rarely do that, but, if some jackass passes me close and beeps their horn when they are next to me, trying to scare me? It won't scare me much, as I have many years of riding experience, but it will piss me off to the point that I will tell you that you are number one with a one fingered salute.

Actually, if you were doing 15 in a 30 mph zone, I wouldn't get upset. I would simply pass you and keep on going down the road. I've been clocked at 66 mph going downhill, 53 mph drafting behind a truck, could hit 48 mph on my own in a sprint for the finish line, and cruising speed was around 22 mph.
Today, my cruising speed is anywhere from 17 to 25 mph, but anything above 22 I can only keep up for a mile or two.
And, sometimes when I'm riding my loop, I actually DO pass some cars when I'm heading home with a good tailwind.

You have never met me in person, so you really don't know what I would or wouldn't do, you just have your assumptions, and you are basing them on what you have seen other cyclists do. And no, traffic doesn't slow down when I'm on the road. Haven't seen one have to slow down since I started riding back in 1986.
Matter of fact, one of my favorite things to do when I was on base was to blow past the base police at 35 to 40 mph, because the speed limit on base was 30 mph. I never got a ticket, but I did get several stern warnings.
They should. They travel on the sides of the roads and could cause accidents, and so they should pay for fixing the roads.
