The weather is great for bikes now and I talked to an unconfirmed source that said there may be a police bike patrol this summer, and that there was non last summer. A source also said that she had spent a year on a bike patrol and did not feel more at risk or unsafe on that form of policing.
A look at the highway interchange early this AM seeing a few less trucks about a hundred an hour a little different then the Sunday afternoon count of 12o. Of interest is the seemingly large portion of auto carriers on their way. In the recent months earlier they were not as clearly standing out a ; we had talked to the drivers of some trucks hauling scrap to places like Richmond Steel and it was also seen as busier. Scrap goes to durable good s that are an indicator of economic strength. So it may be a good time for the police to be considering a bike patrol about town to promote green while being available to keep the peace. A full-sized patrol car s a good reminder for trucks on the highway that safety is the main goal at the end of the day.
Last week a driver lost his life in a fiery accident under a overpass on the Freeway.
