As reported by the Washington Post, Loudoun County officers ticketed several riders for running stop signs during last weekend’s MS charity ride.
Citing complaints from motorists about cyclists “crowding the roads and running stop signs,” the Sheriff’s Dept. says their ticketing is a safety issue. But cyclists say it’s poor form, even if they had rolled a few stop signs. The ride is a major annual event that attracts hundreds of cyclists, and raises over $700,000 for MS research.
What do you think? Should cyclists always be subject to letter-of-the-law enforcement, even during organized rides? Or is this some kind of a backlash?
