Cops who pull over bike riders in
Provo: I was riding my bike
home from work and had not traveled more then 5 minutes on nothing more
than sidewalks and crosswalks when a cop car turned his lights on and
waved
me to a stop. He said, “I was just checking on you because we
received a call that you were weaving in and out of traffic and I
just wanted to make sure you are okay.” I explained to him I had
only been riding on sidewalks and told him I thought he had the wrong
guy. Then he gave me a lecture anyway about riding safely. Cops
that don't verify bike riders before they pull them over must go.
Also, disgruntled Provo drivers who hate Provo traffic and make calls
like that on bike riders must go.
That's crazy. I've never heard of bikers being pulled over, but then again I don't think I've ever ridden a bike in Provo. (I ride my bike from Lehi to Orem all the time, but my work is in Orem just before you get to Provo.)
ReplyDeleteI like the "Things that must go" series. I'm thinking about writing up a few things that must go on my own blog.
