The overarching mentality of most of these posts is: I hate/don't respect cops, I'm never responsible for dangerous or illegal acts while on my bike, and THEY were in the wrong not me. Self-willed attitudes on a collision course with authority figures! Back in the day I had to endure people throwing beer bottles at me, jeers, and trying to clip me even on the road shoulder while I spun. We've come a long way... so don't fuck this up for us all. Asshole cops or or not. Use your fucking head.

@deadinque Cops are fucking pricks in tucson. A tucson cop almost hit me. So this cop who almost hits me, pulls me over, and tells me she should give me a ticket for riding my bike with no hands. I turn to the lady and tell her i have my hand in a cast, and its awkward to ride on one hand for a long period of time.

Besides, it was her stupid pull out, that almost started it.

Bikes R popular in Tucson. Mystifying since the temp in the summer is the same as what you'd find in your oven.  A biker in Tucson has an extraordinary amount of arrogance & self importance due to the fact nothing else on the road is more critical than them keeping up their speed & their line in road. A misconception among cyclists is that they have as much right to the road as autos, even tho they pay no registration, & don't have to meet insurance requirements should they cause an accident.

that is not the only place, where cops try to murder cyclists,Palm Beach County, Florida have done it several times, but they are above the law, they ticketed the guys who complained and threaten to be taken to jail if they kept on talking

Egads. Did the riders get the badge number of that officer? That is the first thing I would have done. I hate cops with a passion. Always have, always will. Ok, i'm being a bit unfair. There are a few good cops out there, but I say a majority, 75% of so, are terrible human beings, corrupt, and they all have a superiority complex attitude to some degree.

Negative. According to ARS 28-815B, bicyclists are not allowed to ride more than two abreast. According to ARS 815A it is illegal for a bicycle to not ride as close as possible to the right.

So no, they do not have the same rights as cars do.

So get the facts straight before you start making foolish comments about the laws and cops that enforce them.
