It's actually a law in certain states. In California you need an ID even for the officer with a bicycle infraction. This is New York though and I don't know the particulars of the municipality.

California does not require a cyclist to present an ID to an officer when being cited for a traffic offense. However if they choose, an officer may arrest and hold you to verify your identity. Same is true with pedestrians.
