It’s about time a bike got a ticket for running a red light. If bicyclists want to “share the road,” then they share the responsibility for safe operation. Ask the author of the article, would it be OK for a car to come to a stop, and if it looks like no one is coming, go through the light? If not, why not?
It tells you something that a cyclist getting ticketed falls into the category of “Man Bites Dog.”
Hey, can we get the cop who issued the ticket transferred to PPW?
what does that mean–“Pantera sold out like that” — are you talking about Panera? what do you mean ‘sold out’?
“Seems like these bicyclists can’t understand that if you’re caught running a red light that there might be consequences. I’m getting a feeling that there’s some sense of entitlement to being able to do it. I also haven’t heard, in any of these accounts, an admission that what they did was actually wrong.”
Bet Dave doesn’t know what Flushing Ave is.
I can’t believe that Pantera sold out like that and is now opening yuppie bread stores in Brooklyn.
Cyclists who somehow think that traffic laws do not apply to them certainly do not help the overall cycling movement.
