Police activity in Georgetown and on Capital Crescent Trail?

Interesting. Saw a bike cop on M Street in G’town at 4am yesterday. I have NEVER seen one at that time of the morning.

You got a ticket?

No ticket. I stopped in time.

Good for you. I ran the Wisconsin light and hadn’t seen him. Heard the radio squawk and was hoping he’d try and chase me. He looked like he was carrying a full load of donuts in the front

Last time I got caught it cost me $175.

Perhaps the police department is trying to save money on health insurance bills by whipping their boys and girls into shape? :rolleyes:

I saw a bike cop this morning but don’t recall which street; somewhere near the Mall.

Yesterday morning there was a police officer ticketing cyclists who failed to stop at the intersection of K St and Wisconsin Ave (even, in my case, when the entire place was deserted of cars).

I saw this too the other day. I run through this intersection by way of Wisconsin everyday, and my only guess is that they the police get a lot of complaints of cyclists not stopping there. I have to admit that I’ve seen some cyclists who come off the CC and don’t even slow down. That said, I’ve also see a fair share of drivers looking down checking facebook here too. These factors, as well as this being a 3 way stop make this slightly hazardous. I can only hope that the police decide that enforcement on drivers is a priority as well.
