Sheesh (http://www.trailreporter.com/incident/show/ag10cmFpbHJlcG9ydGVychgLEhFpbmNpZGVudF9pbmNpZGVudBihHww). I guess since the clean-up crew took care of the Norristown problem, the punks had to move to Port Indian. Everyone, be very careful out there. Fishing line of even modest weight can knock you right off your bike. I'm beginning to think that it's safer in Center City at rush hour than the SRT.

I hope this was reported to the police adding a description of the person holding the camera.

I think the reports on the website are sent to the police. The BCP, BCGP, and SCU are working together with the Norristown police to clean up this kind of activity. This mail just came through on the BCP listserv:
I was going toward Valley Forge from Norristown on the SRT today about 4:30
pm, when a Montgomery Co. Parks SUV came onto the trail at the 202 overpass
and went up the trail. When I reached Port Indian a motorcycle cop passed
me going in the same direction. When I almost reached VF, the county SUV was
coming back. At no time were they going fast, but just cruising along. Good
to see.
