I once came to the scene of a crash that had just happened, with some old lady holding her neck and some man getting out of his car to help, and a policeman that pulled up to the intersection in his car stared at me the whole time I slowly rode by..

After pulling about 3/4 mile of about an 8% grade I'd get to the flaggers and they usually timed holding traffic for me when they saw me coming. One of my rules... smile and wave for police, pedestrians, other cyclists and people working on the road.

You finally made good with a cop in this town!" So, is Joe referring to Yehuda's recent bicycle activism and conflicts with city officials, or by chance does Yehuda have a shady background that we don't know about? :-) :-) “Yehuda Moon . . .

One part they're working on now is where one street hits a through street and turns into a path on the other side (funny arrangement, goes street, path, street, path for several blocks). The flaggers see me coming and instantly start stopping traffic so I can ride straight through. Unless there's a big dozer in the way or something....I give them a big wave and "how's it goin' guys?" as I go through. If there is a dozer or truck or whatever in the way I'll stop and chat. Now, none of these guys are cops, just flaggers hired by the construction company. I’m riding through a bunch of construction lately and will be for the next 5 years (huge lightrail project).
