Making the World Better for New York Cyclists—One Complaint at a Time:
A Website (mostly) of constructive bitching

Bad Apples in the Big Apple's (and beyond) Bike World:

A very personal (if ever so slightly vindictive) Hall of Infamy.

This page under construction while I take a reading of my bile. Reasons for/stories about those named below are coming.

From the NYPD, 28 Pct.: Ofc. Puli who ticketed an adult, non-bike delivery cyclist for failure to wear a helmet. Uh, Puli, there is no such law requiring it. You're a schmuck.
From the NYC DoT (1998):
Luiz Aragao. See "Adman v. NYC DoT," "At the Back" column in VeloNews (link coming).
From the Ft. Lee police department: Perjurous unknown police officer who ticketed cyclist for failiure to keep to right as he was descending Palisades at 30MPH. In court, the defendant, citing  NJ law, sought to show photos of the debris, sewer gratings, and branches in the far right
From the Garfield, OH police department: James Seawright
From the Alpine, NJ court: Part-time judge and fulltime Hackensack lawyer Robert L. Ritter  who acquitted Wha S. Kim who, driving an SUV, killed Camille Savoy as he cycled in the shoulder of 9W. The judge/lawyer disregarded the testimony of two police officers who testified Kim was driving in the shoulder. She claimed Savoy cut in front of her.
From (I think) Ft. Lee, maybe Tenafly: Wha S. Kim (See above).
From the Palisades Interstate Parkway police department: V.E. Roberson who, on a bitter winter day, ticketed solo cyclist Hannah Wittich for leaning her bike against the Alpine PIPC HQ flag pole as she ran into the ladies room, bleeding from her cancerous ovaries. She died a few weeks later. There was no law against leaning the bike as she did.
From the Staten Island police department and prosecutor's office:
From Staten Island: Killer-driver, Anthony Tasso, Jr. who, driving his uncle's SUV on a suspended license, killed  Jerome Allen. The claim: Jerome cut in front of him.
From the New York County Criminal Court: Justice Maxwell Wiley who refused to sentence a cop who was convicted of pushing a cyclist off his bike, then lying about it.
From Queens: Killer-driver, José Vicens (See Andre Anderson, deceased)
From Schwalbe tires: Celeste Steindl-Moser who erroneously sent 300 tire levers rather than the 30 ordered, then took close to a year to offer even a partial payback, withholding ca. $35.00.
From Continental tires:
Greg Tysor who lied about reviewing bills.
From Campagnolo:
Erminio Mangili
From Campagnolo:
Valentino Campagnolo
From the Central Park Police Precinct:
Commanders past and present
From the NYPD Office of Public Information:
From the NYPD:
Bruce ("Bully") Smolka (retired to be in the pay of Ronald Perelman)

List in formation and, one may expect, with many more to follow.
