Welcome to Washington... have a nice pedal across the country... but first pull it over



there were two participants at the last DC Bike Party who were in the early stages of a cross country bicycle ride
during the DC Bike Party they got pulled over
I think they were pulled over for running a red light

I stopped for a second... but did not feel that I needed to get involved
thought that the riders could appeal to the officer's human side
as they talked I could hear the riders claiming that they did not know the dc laws
or something to that effect

not sure of the end result
I hope that the officer issued a warning rather than a ticket

it did not seem to make sense for me to stick around
as I am not a lawyer
and really
I am not sure how I could have helped
