[*BCM*] Cambridge po-po sighting

[Ariel Salomon]

Let me just add that I find that when I ride aggressively and stake out
my position on the road --  all the while making sure I'm aware of
what's going on around me, of course --  I find that drivers give me
more respect.

If I'm taking charge and being aggressive, then I'm spending less time
being in their way.  [ I could go on and discuss analogies to clueless
California yuppies with cellphones and their driving, but I imagine you
get the point .. ]
