Isn't there an ID requirement when driving a vehicle in NY State? It varies by state, and usually if you're not being a dick even if you don't have it, but give enough information to be looked up, it's fine.
I don't know if bicycles are considered vehicles in NYS/NYC. Clearly you can ride a bicycle without ever having a drivers license (as kids can do it), but it may be the case that if you have had one issued, you'd be required to provide it to them.
This is probably a nuanced enough argument that I wouldn't consider having it with a police officer who had just detained me for a real traffic infraction.
