| Re: Holy shatz! Cop stops bicycle! Are BMX kids the worst offenders? I think it's a tie between them and DUI Charlies. I saw a teenager on a BMX yesterday. He was wearing a walkman, and cut across two lanes of traffic(not at the intersection), and proceeded to ride down the turning lane. Geez..... |
