Biker Wins N.H. Ave. Ticket Appeal

The setting of traps by police at the tricky intersection of U Street, 16th Street and New Hampshire Ave. NW in order to catch bicyclists going the wrong way on New Hampshire: it's certainly been a discussion sparker since their initiation earlier this year. But chalk one up for the bikers, via GGW: Sam DuPont, one of the many who have been ticketed in the traps, won his appeal against the fine. His successful tactic? Arguing, as every biker (and frankly, anyone that's ever walked or probably even driven there) knows, that going the "wrong way" on New Hampshire is the safest way to get through if you're on two wheels. The fact that DDOT has all but recognized this fact surely assisted his argument.
