[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!

I just walked through central sq in Cambridge (Inman & Mass Av) and there were motorcyle cops on both sides. I saw one stopping a car that went through a red light. A half minute before that, while walking out of the post office, I was talking to a friend and he remarked that his big gripe was that they never give tickets for red light running to either cars or bikes.
