Cyclists need to be able to be picked up on red-light cameras just as well as motorists. We have the technology.
There's also no reason for police not to ticket cyclists for traffic infractions at least as readily as motorists. Heck, where I live the police---not lifeguards---police will whistle in and ticket a surfer who's surfing out of the designated surf zones ("lanes").
Cyclists are not special (and, yes, skateboarding can be a crime ;) ).

What is happening in Portland re the Retro Bike Bastards is typical of that green commie facist controlled city. Normal law obeying citizens are the criminals versus these Retro Bike Bastards and their beloved green eco terrorists when the bastards cause an encounter.
First of all there has been basically no coverage in Portland fishwrap/papers of the Retro Bikers, who are causing the problem. I did a Yahool search and the only major article on these Retro Bike Bastards is the Newsweek Article you posted.
Up to this incident where my son’s friend was involved, the incident cited by the Newsweek article. Vehicle drivers have been held responsible even the Retro bikers attacked them first. My son’s friend lucked out as the event apparently was covered by at least one camera at the last intersection. Also, the car driver had several witnesses backing up that the bastard Retro Biker started the incident and had tried at several intersection.
Maybe Beckwith will post a link to what a sewer Portland has become in the last 10 years.
In case you missed it. Beckwith replied with a picture of the current Portland Pride.
