Letter: "Having An Albany Police Officer Do Nothing Put A Really Bad Taste In Our Mouths"

One reader expresses frustration about a near-accident with cyclists on San Pablo. Albany Patch welcomes guest columns and letters to the editor via email at albany@patch.com.

[Editor's Note: Albany Patch would love your 300-word letters to the editor. .]

We were almost run over by two speeding bicyclists, on the sidewalk near the Mechanics Bank driveway and Nizza La Bella, last week just shy of 7 p.m.

The real kicker was that the bicyclists were heading directly at an Albany Police car, turning onto Washington, from San Pablo.

We couldn't believe what we saw next.

Despite res ipsa loquitur and my concomitant ministrations, the officer just kept on going.

So did we.

All the way to Bucci's.

That wasn't our first bike incident on the San Pablo sidewalk near Nizza, but having an Albany police officer do nothing put a really bad taste in our mouths, and we just had to leave the area.
