“Police hit riders with 103 summonses during a weekend crackdown that was launched a day after Jill Tarlov was hit by a speed demon on a high-performance bike, according to NYPD stats. Between Friday and Sunday, 29 riders were caught failing to yield to pedestrians, 26 blew red lights and 30 were ticketed for wearing headphones, according to the NYPD. Officers wrote 42 of the tickets in a ‘targeted enforcement area’ along West Drive from West 60th to West 65th streets — the busy area where Tarlov was hit on Thursday. Cops were already on a record ticketing pace in the park before the bike blitz. They wrote 468 total summonses between Jan. 1 and Sept. 14.”
