FYI

I have just been told @ work that the assailant in the motorist extracting a cyclists' tooth video was in fact off duty officer, all upset because the cyclist didn't feel like burning through the amber light.

Does this count as a fixie?

Definitely the first time I've seen one of these on Craigslist!

Its all over the internets, digg.com and boingboing both featured it today. Its going to be interesting to see if anything is going to come of this. TOBMA should do a release about it.

The dude's a cop. Someone in the force called him and said "we're going to come over and arrest you, just come in".

The reason he's on leave is what I'm after...after seeing himself on the news and knowing his plate had been sussed, he'd have been a bigger moron to not turn himself in. I'll bet even money he was speaking to his "brothers" after this happened.

I couldn't find that out, but if you google him, he has an Accomedation from the force for something or other.

I never ride that way, but last night I went to see Mike at Cycle Therapy. and I TOTALLY stop at yellow lights. I'm a nerd.
