Good for that cop! That idiotic bicyclist almost hit him. He came from New Jersey to make a scene and ride like a banshee in New York and got what he deserved.

Last year, while walking on the sidewalk as I was approaching the street, I got hit by a big guy (about half my age) on a bicycle. My shirt got ripped to shreads, I had buises and cuts on my legs, and the bicyclist didn't even apologize. After he got up, he just took off.

I'm NOT anti-bicycle. I do not own a motor vehicle, and have a bicycle myself, but a lot of bike riders have no concept of safety for others or respect for the pedestrians.
