It was the Motorists fault. As a bicyclist you need to realize that American drivers tend to be distracted as they drive. These guys were probably gawking at the cop and didn't look ahead. Drivers comb their hair, put on makeup, read the paper when they drive. Did you see the I phone? Now you have a phone, internet, and I pod all in one. Think that may cause trouble?
I love the concept of commuting and bicyclist rights. You just need to evaluate the road you are riding on and decide the risk vs the rewards.
