I was rudely accosted, assaulted with battery, and tased at Minneapolis St Paul USA international airport by Airport Police, simply for choosing to leave the airport by bicycle. I had broken no laws. I use a bicycle as a significant part of my daily mode of travel. I have legally cycled to and from airports internationally including 3 of the 4 major London airports, with no problems. I was using my bicycle completely in accord with MN Statutes and Metropolitan Airport Commission Ordinances.

Ugh, that sucks...

I wouldn't say that's a war on cyclists as much as a c0cksucking cop who deserves a punch to the larnyx.

Or worse.

Completely sucks.

He was riding a folding bike. I would have kicked his ass just because of that.

I have outrun many cops on a bike without issue. He needs to ride more.

He was looking for an opportunity to educate. I've been there, sometimes it ain't worth it.

Yeah, I saw that on reddit, and well, read it. Kind of strange and absurd.

Sounds to me like he got an education himself.
