I primarily commute to Manhattan from Brooklyn by bicycle. However I do have a car. There's two problems I have with this video. One is double-parking for street cleaning. That is allowed in my neighborhood and it actually saves a lot of driving around. It prevents circling looking for parking and it keeps me from having to drive in if I can't find parking. And there'e no real downside to it. Secondly is temp parking or standing next to a fire hydrant. Granted, thisis illegal, but I would much rather people do this than double park on streets like Court Street and severely impact other bikes and cars (especially bikes.) I try to avoid Court if at all possible on bike because there are always cars swerving to avoid double-parkers. I'm sympathetic to these issues.

If I jump the turnstile I might get arrested and put in jail. Worst case scenario for these guys is a parking ticket that might get thrown out. Double standard?
