"We're lucky they just put a flag up there — and not a bomb," a law enforcement source told the New York Post. "It's an embarrassment."
Who pulled off the flag switch remains a mystery.
One group did take credit — and in the process briefly duped the New York Daily News and the Associated Press.
The "Bike Lobby" said on Twitter that it had raised the white flags "to signal our complete surrender of the Brooklyn Bridge bicycle path to pedestrians."
The parody account, which describes itself as an "all-powerful enterprise," was set up to make fun of bicycle opponents.
Fun ensued after the spoof cycled around the world.
