↩ Jacob's Ephemerata

A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

Casey Neistat demonstrates (in a comical fashion) the problem with being ticketed for riding not in bike lanes in NYC. This has happened to me too* and I reckon those donut-fattened caffeine-fuelled officers all need their cars taken away, and to be put on bikes themselves. Although even the ones on alternatives modes of transport are still thuggees.

*Luckily my UK licence didn’t make sense to the officer so the ticket was unintelligible, not least—as usual—they got my name the wrong way around, so I ignored it.
