Came on here trying to see if this was unusually bad or if it’s just me. It’s been like, 30 minutes of this. Fucking idiots. Imagine being an adult entertained by going vroom vroom all night

As long as there are no consequences there will be no improvement.

It was at 3rd and Oregon, then over to the Walmart on Delaware Ave, now they’re on their way to 15th and Market.

Police scanner says there’s about 500 of them.

This aspect is fascinating. Studies show that Americans are spending more and more time alone, making fewer friends, etc. The ability for some people to gather up 500 likeminded individuals and do something as coordinated as this (not super coordinated, but clearly still somewhat coordinated) is a significant outlier to that trend.

I feel like those studies don't include cities

That'd be unusual, but the one I used to form my opinion (the most recent peer reviewed study on Americans' time spent alone, conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia) does include cities.

Before even looking at it I doubt the type of person taking part in illegal burnout meetups is also signing up for scientific studies.

Here’s 1000 of these idiots in Times Square and riding through Manhattan last year, disregarding all traffic signals: https://youtu.be/NqQPrhKUeok

It really seems like this problem is here to stay in the Northeast :( Florida too.

Incredibly annoying. And I wonder if there’s any connection to the recent theft of a tractor trailer’s worth of dvd players

I used to be a part of the scene here and I can tell you now from experience we drivers were untouchable. The cops aren’t allowed to do anything to us unless they want to get us big paid and lose their jobs because they’re not allowed to chase for traffic stuff, the city officials don’t care because they’re probably outside the city, it was fun. I hang out with a more mature crowd now but if you’re losing your mind in January just wait until June.

I like the honest take. Your right, this is gonna be a bad summer with the way things have been going. I wonder if the city is going to start getting it all figured out before 2026. So many huge things happening and the city needs to be ready and able.

I’m sure I’ll get hate for it but I’m telling it how it is. Sure the city can use their one helicopter to track cars but fuel is expensive and I know they’re not going to waste all that money and resources for what are going to be traffic tickets at the end of the day if you get busted. We’ve had some guys get caught but it was just fines, no points, no suspensions if you got a good traffic lawyer.

One thing I looked forward to in the winter was the relative respite from bike culture that the cold weather provided, but the last couple of winters have provided no such break.
