Cyclists, if you've ever been harassed for riding your bike on the sidewalks -- which is forbidden, by the way -- take a moment to bathe in the warm glow of this footage that captured NYPD arresting a man for "ridiculing" a cyclist getting a ticket. Although the heckler walked away after spouting a comment toward the biker (i.e., "You're a grown man, you know better than that!"), several cops pour out of the police van "to teach the man a lesson in manners."

Makes SFPD look downright tame by comparison, doesn't it?

In the end, the passerby was reportedly charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
