[bike] oops

[topaz]

What's the most embarrassing thing you can do after filing a formal written complaint against the Cambridge PD for improper behavior toward a cyclist?

Yeah, get a ticket on your bike for running a red light.

For all that I talk about wishing that the police enforced the law more consistently against cyclists, I'm still annoyed. I stopped at the light and waited for it to turn. I started on the pedestrian signal and was entering the intersection as it turned green. I'm glad that they're issuing tickets but think that my case was marginal at best.

But, in any event, embarrassing!

Those cops probably have your picture posted everywhere by now. "Crack down on this guy! He's a trouble-maker!"

Yeah, I could have sworn that I heard one of the cops say, "Don't think you're so tough now, huh? HUH?" as I pulled over!

(Actually, no, but that would be a really cool story, huh?)
