One of my friends just got a $242 ticket for slowly rolling through a stop sign on her bike at 15th and Agate. The motorcycle police pulled over two other girls right after her. I’m all for safety, don’t get me wrong. Blowing stop signs is dangerous and gives cyclists a bad reputation, but I that is too much. The Oregonian ran an article about a similar police stop-sign sting in Portland, but they gave warnings instead of handing out fines. Hmm.
