Speaking about high-speed bicycle chases, I was stopped on Highway 7 (Contestoga Pkwy in Kitchener) in South-Western Ontario because a truck driver had called the police on me. It all started in New Hamburg, just before Highway 7 turns into a limited-access 4-lane divided highway. I was riding through east-bound, while the trucker cut me off, so I passed him in the left-lane and sped up to match his speed so he couldn't pass me on the left (and I couldn't overtake him to return to the right-lane). Anyways, maybe 15 km or so later in Kitchener, the police had two squad cars, one pulled me over and the other guarded the exit ramp (to make sure I wouldn't continue on my merry way). The police were nice enough and suggested a route through the city instead, which I grudgingly took. But it was loads of fun in the tailwind as I must've been doing 50-70 km/hr (my cyclocomputer wasn't working that day unfortunately), and this was one event of many in my 9 hour trip from London to Newmarket.
