The City of Oceanside in Northern San Diego County has decided to borrow the worst pages from New York and has begun handing out tickets to bicyclists. From an email I received, “Today I got stopped along with two other people by a cop in an unmarked car wearing a jacket covering his uniform for [...]

Of course, the article in the San Diego Reader got some attention, and nearly all responses were negative. Perhaps some responses were positive, but they didn’t get through to be published.
