    It was a four way stop on Commonwealth and E Del Ray Ave. I was in the bike lane. I slowed there the intersection was clear. In the morning I’m usually not going more 15 mph. The motorcycle officer pulled me over from behind. He parked in the bike lane to write the ticket which made the other cyclist wordy when passing. I should have taken a picture. The ticket was for not coming to a stop at the stop sign. I don’t argue with officer but did say something about having to watch out for cars always. He said the bikers are other only ones complaining about stopping at signs. I did not say anything else as he wrote me up.
    I’m not mad but it just sucks. Some bike friends say we should organize a ride around Alexandria take the lanes, stop at every stop, and see how the pubic feels about the slow down. I feel this action would only make the cars more aggressive about bikes. Is may be an issue that has to be addressed clearly around the country.

    I received a ticket on Commonwealth Ave this morning. There was no one around except the cop behind me which I didn’t turn around to see. I enjoyed the other cyclist giving him shit about the stop and him parking his motorcycle in the bike lane while writing me a ticket. I should have taken a picture of all the room on the side he could have parked in but I was in disbelieve he was actual giving me a ticket. Thanks $94 gone.

    I thought about e-mailing and leading from the Springfield pit stop (Walker Lane) to crystal city or navy yard. I like the crystal city pit stop.
    I feels like it’s a lot of responsibility to lead and I might bale if it rains.

    I currently ride to work (M st SE close to Navy Yard) a couple times a week from Rose Hill.

    micahmac where you headed?
