you are crying because of the 15 minutes delay ?

No, im not saying that it's right ( especially for those guys who squeeze through the closed entrance ), but why don't you make a video about smth more important? Maybe some cops that just pull motorists aside cause they need to give out predefined amount of tickets?

what a waste of the space this video is.

Thanks, #35.

Appreciate that license, but it was #23 who brought up the idea of making films to prove his/her and, perhaps, your point.

So if you get around to proving that point with your film/video, do everybody a favor and show the poor behaviors of cyclists and pedestrians, respectively.

If you do, I think you will find that on the numbers alone, there are far more pedestrians who violate traffic laws in this city than there are than cyclists, simply because there are so many more pedestrians.

monster, you are free to make any kind of video you want.

#23

How 'bout a film showing pedestrians jaywalking, dashing out from behind parked cars, listening to Ipods, reading the paper, checking their email, crossing at "Don't Walk" signs and generally being completely oblivious to the world around them... and cutting off cyclists who have the right of way.

Yeah, there are some rude cyclists out there. But there are a whole lot more rude pedestrians.

As for the guy pulling the gates closed? Good for him... start a volunteer organization to help the overtaxed park workers who can't make it there on time.

Park Slope Blows

What I certainly don't get is why the cops don't stand there and ticket everyone one of those cars. Come on - it's easy money for them! It makes NO sense for those cars to be in the park any time. A park should be for the PEOPLE not the cars.

Hey #23, just because SOME cyclists choose to be asshats and break the rules doesn't give you the right to condemn ALL people who ride bikes.

Also, cars are more dangerous to pedestrians than bikers could ever be. On the other hand, I am put in danger by careless pedestrians jaywalking or crossing against the light on a daily basis. Where's your outrage against them???

Hmm, well if I'm 15 minutes late moving my car on alternate side of the street days, I certainly get a ticket from the city, so why should the city get slack from us when it is their turn to have a responsibility?

Barf.

Ungh. I just got sick.

So so tired of the city. Makes me sick and mad.

And this is an issue because?! Stupid hipsters have too much time on their hands, they should have finish drinking their PBRs instead.

Hey #22, don't be such a jerk. Bike hits pedestrian, both get hurt. Car hits bike, car drives away.

Right, and because we are at war, we shouldn't do, pay attention to, or talk about anything else, ever.

Wait, what?

#22 - You're right as Hasidim are American, and tend to mostly vote Republican.

Bigot much?

#22

you're a complete jackass. hasidsm ≠ zionism.

While I'm happy to slam the guy who slalomed past the barriers, unless there's very clear signage saying "do not enter after 7PM," I can't see how you can blame someone for driving down a public road that's totally unblocked.

How about a film showing how many bikers run stop signs/red lights,ride the wrong way down one way streets, or ride on the sidewalks. Believe me, bikers put more pedestrians in danger than the few cars that enter the park after 7 PM do bikers.

Yes, we're at war. Some would argue the Hasidim are part of what caused that war. . .

Meanwhile we are at war...

what are you talking about, the guys showed up 15 MINUTES LATE!

Hey, film maker, let's see if the guys show up 15 MINUTES LATE when they open the park to cars at 5pm? I will be they are right on time!

Agree with post #2.

Come on, that is unfair. There were 45 cars entering illegally. All makes, shapes, sizes, ethnicities of people. Picking on just one is so lame. So easy. ALL those drivers are to blame.
