State Trooper Doesn’t Care About You Locals With The Helmets

Written by Boston Biker on Apr 16

I got sent this shocking video today…honestly someone should be given a new assignment.  The longfellow has recently been reconfigured and its pretty horrible the way cyclists are funneled up onto the sidewalk, but with cops like this doing…something (this guy certainly isn’t protecting or serving anyone) I hope no one is in an accident because they certainly are not sympathetic to safety on that bridge.

 

The current bike lane situation on the bridge could be made better in so many ways, but having an officer literally parked in the lane and then having his buddy behave like this its only a matter or time before something bad happens.

Thanks Ben for sending this along.
