sorry, you're not going to get much if any sympathy from this crowd.
where in Brooklyn was this? I was riding in Manhattan this past Saturday, you know 9/11 and yeah I was going through red lights with a cop car right next to me, sure I stopped, make sure the area was clear and rode through. it was pretty hectic downtown, the cops and the traffic cops just want to keep the people and the traffic moving.
and, I rode salmon, too. only once did a cop look and it was a plainclothes cop in a non marked car when I was about to ride off and he was coming through, he gave me a look.
so what, I'm going to jinx myself now, won't be the first, won't be the last. there's other things to worry about.
like watching out for opening car doors, you know the one that killed a young cyclist on Atlantic Ave.
