Not the end of the world ...

The crossing guard probably had a good reason for doing what he/she did. That intersection is a cluster*&*& for pedestrians and bicyclists alike, with all the speed demons/entitled drivers on it during the morning and afternoon rush hours. There's a reason they installed flashing lights there.

Really????? Geez. What a waste of keyboard juice.

A car is going to win against a cyclist every bloody time. The crossing guard was doing his/her job by ensuring the safety of the cyclist. They do that for me (on my bike) every morning at 9th and Lincoln. I, for one, applaud the brave men and women of the crossing guard for protecting cyclists from the 4 wheeled murder machines.

David: Karla is the crossing guard, and I trust her judgement in making an effort to protect the life of the bicyclist. Obviously we do not want crossing guards to unnecessarily or abruptly stop traffic; but each morning I have noticed that Karla usually waits for a natural break in the traffic, before she raises her stop sign.
