Rooting for the cops

Today I was biking to work, politely waiting my turn at a moderately busy intersection, when another bicyclist flew past me and dodged traffic straight through the red light.

I really hate it when other bikers do that -- I feel like cars would be more inclined to treat bicycles like equal citizens with an equal right to the road if bicyclists actually followed the rules of the road. Plus, you know, I'm the type who really hates to see someone else breaking the rules and getting away with it.*

Which is why I got that warm fuzzy feeling when I finally got across and discovered my fellow bicyclist pulled over on the sidewalk arguing with two cops. Take that, sucker. Mmm, schadenfreude.

* When they're good rules at least.
