True dat regarding red lights. My suspicion is that these bikers have run red lights every year for quite some while. I may be pissed if I have to sit in traffic because cops are arresting bicyclists, but I'm also pissed when I have to deal with bicyclists who disregard traffic rules, whether knowingly or not.
Don't get me wrong, I have no problem sharing the road with bicyclists who themselves obey the rules. I used to bike quite a bit in downtown Louisville, but I never ran red lights or otherwise broke traffic laws.
Yes, if they've done this for years without incident, and this year cops decided they should crack down, it would have been a good thing for the cops to make that known ahead of time. But I'd hardly call that "bad policing".
