In May, YWN published a story of a Williamsburg child that was struck by a biker as the child exited a school bus. The bikers seem to have total disregard for the law, and nearly ran over a mother and child as the child exited a school bus on Monday.

I have observed this many times. I fear that this is residue that is left over from the days of Mayor Bloomberg. He treated bikers as sacred cows, giving them status far greater than any driver. In his eyes, they could do no wrong. I believe that Traffic Court judges were instructed to view any mishap between a biker and driver as the fault of the driver, until proven beyond doubt otherwise.
pedal bicycles are not the same danger as motor vehicles. they go much slower and can maneuver around people easier.
