They did a follow-up piece on the 6 p.m. NBC4 news. I didn't find a link on their website so I'm going to try to do my best to tell you what was said (if you didn't see it). They were at Haines Point today and interviewed one of the cyclists doing, I assume, the lunchtime ride. He said that the mayor should get a break because he's not abusing anything and he should be able to use police escorts while cycling. He said that it would be a different story if the mayor was out playing golf.

They interviewed a Park Police officer who said it was illegal for a cyclist to ride on the Clara Barton Parkway and if you get stopped by the police, there is a $95 fine.

They interviewed a young guy at the Union Station bike stop/center (not sure what they call it). He was actually pretty humorous. He laughed and said that there's enough police in DC to escort every cyclist in the city. But then he said that what the mayor is doing is outrageous and if he is using his bike habits as a way to gain favor in DC, he should ride like all the other cyclists and should have to fight traffic to make a left turn.

They interviewed the mayor and he said that he didn't know that he was breaking any rules (Clara Barton) and that all the cyclists that he spoke to didn't know about the rule but he said, Kudos to WTOP for finding that out. He said that he would "change his ways" but when asked to elaborate, he didn't comment.

They interviewed a rep from WABA and he said it's a lesson for everyone. He said something like cyclists fair best when they act like motorists. And if cyclists want the protection of the law, we should obey the law.

Tom Sherwood, the journalist, ended the segment by saying that the mayor would ride more if he could and he and Jim Vance said something like, "He really enjoys it...good for him."

There wasn't as much of a negative slant as the segment that was done yesterday.
