Damn. This is just nasty. I’m all for serve and protect, but nowhere does it say “serve, protect and occasionally tackle moving cyclists”.
I hope that cop loses his badge. He literally went out of his way to step up and take the innocent cyclist out. Imagine what he does when he feels anger towards pedestrians when he’s behind the wheel of a squad car.
Thanks for the link goes out to J. Bell, photographer of Austin’s finest kids.
Damn, just when you thought it was over, another freak cycling accident in Austin. This time it involves a motorcycle, and we all know they need to be über alert on the road, too.
My normal workout ride (when I’m riding) is a quick jaunt on un-congested side streets, bike path, singletrack, the capital and the university. I think the most dangerous part is riding near those students in the a.m. – they’re like zombies.
Rubber side down, friends. Especially to all those conquering RAGBRAI. I need to do that some day…
