Getting Arrested

My latest column documents my first arrest. I’m not proud of getting arrested, but neither am I ashamed of what I did to get arrested. I hope you’ll agree that the general public would have been better served had the police simply issued me a ticket and let me go on my way, but maybe it was a slow night.

While my story may be humorous, there are much more serious matters to do with the NYPD and whom they arrest. If you have an opportunity, attend a screening or order a DVD of Still We Ride, a documentary about the NYPD’s war against cyclists.
