Here is some info found online. According to the PDF download on the site... § 4-12 (p) – Bicycles • Bicycle riders must use bike path/lane, if provided, except for access, safety, turns, etc. • Other vehicles shall not drive on or across bike lanes except for access, safety, turns, etc. >> ^zombieater: So the radio station said that it wasn't illegal to not ride in the bike lane - does anyone know if this is true?


this is the full Law


—34 RCNY § 4-12(p) Bicycles.
(1) Bicycle riders to use bicycle lanes. Whenever a usable path or lane for bicycles has been provided, bicycle riders shall use such path or lane only except under any of the following situations:
(i) When preparing for a turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
(ii) When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions (including but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, pushcarts, animals, surface hazards) that make it unsafe to continue within such bicycle path or lane.

So the cyclist decides if its safe and if you bring this to court they will throw out the fine. It's legal to not be in the lane. I just had to post this since I am a biker in nyc and there will be a reason to cut into the road from the bike lane at about every block which I think is more dangerous so I just don't use them most of the time.
