$1,050 fine for... get this, for causing drivers to slow down and going too fast on a bicycle

If I am reading the story right a cyclist tried to cross a busy roadway at an intersection during rush hour, I assume no traffic light or crosswalk was installed to allow a cyclists safe and legal passage across this intersection so the lack of accommodations for cyclists turns a victim into a criminal, just for trying to cross a road. I only wish I could get a $1,000 every time some idiot pulled in front me causing me to slow down.

Note: I just posted a new link to a video in which the cyclist says the police accused him of going too fast. Things do not make much sense in this story.
