Fort Lauderdale bicyclist arrested - Sun Sentinel

More details emerge from the "take down" incident that happened during the "Critical Mass" bike ride in Ft. Lauderdale last Friday. Click title for link. From the article:
Littell ignored orders to park his bike, made an obscene gesture at the officers and said, "Go ahead and hit me," the affidavit states.
Littell could not be reached for comment.
In an interview Littell gave to WFOR-Ch.4, he said he was sore after the arrest. According to the TV report, he admitted to riding in front of the patrol car to "calm him down, slow him down."
Littell was charged with obstruction/resisting arrest without violence and failure to obey law enforcement — both misdemeanor offenses — and with non-criminal traffic citations for making an improper lane change; failure to yield and riding a bike two or more abreast to impede traffic.
