According to community complaints, riding a bike is a nonstatistic danger to pedestrians and needs to be curbed with police resources and time. image found here. |
The police vow to crack down on least frequent causes of pedestrian injury. Less likely than "tripped on a stone" or "stepped in a hole". image found here. |
The Police department started cracking down on the most infrequent and unlisted causes of pedestrian injury.
- Piggy-back ride contests
- Zipping up your pants while walking
- Racing stray cats
- Walking with three of your best friends, arm in arm, reciting the lyrics from The Wizard of Oz
- Crocs
In addition to the "crackdown", pedestrians are also being encouraged by the police to stay inside the house at all times if possible, crawl on the sidewalk with a helmet, or better yet, just drive a car.
Maybe you'll think differently about wearing Crocs next time, Larry. image found here. |
Thank you, Mr. Gunderson, for covering this important issue. I certainly hope that the SFPD is successful in their crackdown on scofflaw bicyclists. They're so entitled and self centered! Over the past few years it's become harder for me to roll through stop signs or run red lights since there are so many more bicyclists on the street, blocking my way. Something has to change!!
