Well, whether or not the use of a police escort is appropriate for his rides (which is really the only issue that I see), not everything they state in that article is true.
1. The video claiming he ran a red light at Goldsboro shows a light that is green. He did stop at one red light and let traffic clear before the police escorted him through, however.
2. Riding bikes on Clara Barton Parkway is perfectily legal from Glen Echo to MacArthur Blvd. I happen to have a source familar with that ride, and know that is where he was riding.
3. The only illegal behavior in the video was an SUV that passed them illegally on the right side.
4. The only traffic that really appeared to be "held up" was TOP's van. Other vehicles passed on multi lane roads with no problems. Who's car really honked?? Makes for stunning video however.
