but seriously...I wasnt aware that a great number of "underclass" people rode bicycles
In Tampa, the police have been accused of targeting black neighborhoods for writing tickets to bicycle riders...
The difference in the numbers are quite stark...
I think, IMHO, that the bike riders are being targeting because they are running drugs or contraband...whereas in the "white" neighborhoods drugs are sold via vehicle...
