Good luck ...Officer Brew -<BR/>Thanks for your comment. Good luck with the next couple of weeks as people get used to this. I'm sure it will be an blast.<BR/>Good point on the Little Falls intersection. The stop signs on trail couldn't really be any bigger or more obvious.Chuck Wagonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418906274684022977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791205829167373593.post-63736435538046430382008-06-05T06:15:00.000-04:002008-06-05T06:15:00.000-04:00I agree with you 100%.

Park Police on the daywork shift, so you can imagine the responsibility has been given to me to "enforce the speed limit on the Capital Crescent Trail during the early morning commute hours." But, as an area cyclist/cat 4 racer, and go-to guy on all things cycling related within the department, I've tried to express my dissatisfaction with the emposed speed limit. Unfortunately I don't really wear enough brass to make any real changes. <BR/>Just like you, I think it places 100% of the blame on us cyclist and not the real ignorant behavior that goes on on the trail. Honestly, out of all the accidents we have reported on the trail, most of them have been when walkers, not paying attention, move into the path of a biker. This spells disaster whether we're going 25, 15, 10 or 5 mph. <BR/>So to all the cyclist out there, if you're ever stopped by a park police officer and about to get a ticket, shamelessly name drop! I am Officer Brew and since we're all cyclist, we all know each other, so you know me.<BR/><BR/>P.S. the real problem we have is when we (cyclist) blow through the stop sign at Little Falls Prkwy. Very dangerous and you can't name drop to get out of being t-boned by a car.DJ Bike Policehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14095401792753669920noreply@blogger.com
