      That’s all it’s about. Nyc has been engaging in shady practices for a while. It’s almost like an unregulated tax on the middle class. If you can afford a car, but have to use street parking, you’re going to get tickets. Even if you’ve done nothing wrong, those meter maids have their quotas to fill. They’re getting greedier. Now that public roads are tolled the next natural escalation seems to be fining ebikes…

      Next you’ll pay a few dollars to walk every few blocks.
