Was it necessary to block traffic today?? Jeez.
We were mourning the death of a friend and a cyclist. Of course we had to block traffic. If the police can do it when one of their’s dies, so can we.
Breaking the law is what got him killed. One drive was written up for leaving the scene of an accident. No report was submitted for reckless operation of a vehicle causing death. Keep up the good work. Is it any wonder City residents are fed up with cyclists.
Isn’t that cute, we have our very own Troll. Don’t feed him.
