boston guy

In Fall 2009, I moved to Boston after three years in DC.
Some adventures, musings, and thoughts:

Dude, that absolutely sucks.  That’s just lame.  MAYBE I can see having a law about that.  But $150!?  That’s ridiculous.  Start a petition!

jimisland:

I got pulled over today on my bicycle for listening to music.  I looked it up and it’s going to be a $150 ticket.  I’m trying to understand you LA…I really am.  I’m riding my bike through heavy traffic and poorly paved roads, so I can say i did my best not to contribute to the smog and pollution that bogs this city.  I pay every day with my seat and tears and still you want more.

I complain, but whatever.  It just seems a little harsh…so much for saving on gas money.

  5. louobedlam said: as someone who drove an ambulance, it’s an excellent law. you’d be surprised how few people hear the siren, even w/o headphones. and the cops have no way of knowing how “soft” your music is playing.
  6. pauliophonic said: Is that really a law? You can’t listen to headphones while biking? Really?
  7. kelsyabbott said: UGH! that’s bullshit! I always listen to music when i bike (and its quiet enough where i can hear traffic and horns and people or whatever). the police here love picking on bikers and i hate them.
