So I got off my bike, carried it a few feet to the side, got on it, and slowly wobbled my way past the stopped cars. So lame of that cop... Just causing me grief for no reason at all.

Well, front street is a madhouse with closed off lanes and stuff this evening. The cops were super nice to me though. A cop walked in the middle of the road to stop traffic (I was in front) and he told me to just go ahead and made the cars wait. I asked if I could ride on the other side of the pylons and he went "huh? Oh yeah, of course. Go ahead!" Then I came up to a red light and the cop stopped the advance green traffic to let me through. Thanks guys.

A modern art statement, if you will.

Call me a facist ("you're a facist!") but there should be rules against posting your ugly-ass fixies on FGG
ie: https://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2007/jan/KSantos.htm
Same brand, but much better https://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2007/jan/LeeLally.htm
I know, they probably love their bike, and that's all that matters, but I'm constantly disappointed when I go eagerly to look up some new hot bikes on FGG, and I get these beaters. Bah!
