try the latest version of "realoneplayer" on a PC, or quicktime (version 6) on either mac or PC.

I was there and cited while riding in the bicycle lane. My violations were 22400(a) VC (Impeding flow of traffic) and 21801(a) VC (Fail to yield). I made a left from Fillmore onto Fulton from the lane as other Vehicle Codes allow a bicycle (namely 21200(a) VC and 21202(a) VC.

Hi,

I've interviewed a number of those cited and from the sounds of it, almost all or all of the charges are bogus. Whoever took the sign-up sheet and video please get in touch with Bikes Not Bombs and the NLG to help with legal defense, filing complaints, etc. Ideally these would be dismissed before anyone has to go to court. Wtihout giving too much away (the police read these things ya know), witnesses say the "failure to yield for a left turn" involved a motorist who waved them through. That's not failing to yield, no way!

Technical stuff: I was unable to get sound when playing this video, was there sound? Is there sound? As for RealVideo, don't ever pay for it! You can certainly get a copy for most operating systems.
