I award this thread 4 stars -
I was chatting to a New York Cycle activist yesterday and one of the topics was police attitude to cyclists, friends of hers have had their bikes smashed, been detained in plastic cuffs, taken a beating... the job lot.
They are up there with terrorists in the eyes of the police, i think we have it good here, the police are on those junction because the powers that be told them, they told them because they have a box to tick to justify spend/head count/activity... whatever it is.
It isn't a personal attack on cyclists, i am pretty sure they don't want to stand by the road side and wave people on to take the abuse, i can't imagine thats the vision of policing they had in mind when they signed up all fresh faced and eager to serve..
but if you feel the need to mock them then go right ahead.. what ever floats your boat
