This is why people are pissed off.

This is petty shit. Go find something serous to deal with. Stop screwing with people because youre bored.

You can cause a serious accident by fucking with traffic the way they did. And as I mentioned, this isnt even their first offense.

dont blame the cops, they only enforce laws politicians pass, not all states require a license for bikes or require bike riders to follow traffic laws, if people dont like that they need to write their congress person and get the law changed, when cops arrest someone, they are just following orders and guidelines

Youre not required to write a bicycle with a license here in California with a stupid fucking law

I dunno, I live in a very affluent area and commute to my job in the richest county in America and I wish there was a license and insurance system for bicyclists around here. At least for certain roadways. All too often have I put myself in danger going around a tight bend with trees everywhere and having to suddenly swerve into the other lane or slam on my brakes because of a group of unexpected bicyclists.

This is definitely the problem and there is zero reason for the police to have arrested them. There should have been warnings. Hell, even if they were breaking the laws intentionally, an arrest is so over the top for this. As is confiscating their property. I've no doubt that this is used to the cops' advantages. This is the type of shit that ruins lives. They can't even go on a fucking bike ride.

Greenwich Connecticut?

How do you get a license for bike riding?

I guess I risk getting arrested every day in the summer. I never bring my id for a ride.
