D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty has been captured on video by WTOP investigative reporter Mark Segraves on many weekday training rides with his cycling team —  always accompanied by a D.C. Metropolitan Police Department motorcycle escort.  Segraves reports that the police escort has facilitated various illegal moves by the cyclists (running red lights, riding through stop signs, riding on roads where bicycles are not permitted).  Segraves used the D.C. and federal Freedom of Information Acts to uncover records that show in greater detail the cost in public resources for escorts and transportation related to the Mayor’s training and competing.  WTOP
