street ride in on Comm Ave and just as I pass BU I'm riding side by side with a hard riding, red light running Boston bike cop. I'm a stop at the lights on Comm Ave and go only when it seems clear kind of guy and I wasn't sure if he was running them because he was on a call or just pushing down the road for the exercise so I didn't exactly follow his example. I chatted him up at one of the lights he did stop at complimenting him on his speedy style and remarking that if he rides at that rate all day he'll definitely be in shape from being a bike cop. Like most bike cops I've met he seemed only too happy to be acknowledged for the extra effort that goes into being a cop on a bicycle.


the ride home I did solo on the bike path. my back tire needs air.
