To "Tommy Cannondale", the NYPD cop in Central Park
It was good to meet you last night and find out some of you guys patrolling the park nightly are cyclists as well (both fixed gear and roadies).
Rock on....though you really gotta get off the "can-o-whale" train....I mean come on....

Last night I skid-stopped at a stop sign since there was a police van about to head through the intersection. The cop in the passenger seat shouted out the window "No brakes!" as they drove off.

Haha, some of my friends had said the same thing to me. Part of the reason why I stopped (besides it being bad form to cut off a police van while running a stop sign) was that it looked like they weren't going to stop at the stop sign themselves. However when they saw me the did stop. So either they had brakes or they did the foot-on-the-tire thing.

The guy I talked too wasn't on a bike, he was in one of those golf cart thingies, he had a name for it but to be honest I was distracted by the cute asian girl in tight jeans that walked by where were were standing when he was geeking out on it. I've never seen NYPD bike cops in central park, I've seen dudes on horses and the motorcycle (CHIPS style) guys though.

I guess some of you guys will appreciate this.
I've been saying it and I'll say it again: chicks on bikes are 17.5% hotter than average.
Strangely enough, I've never seen a coppette on a bike, ever. Anyone leses from 'round my place readint this? Have you?

Semi-on-topic:
I was in Covington, KY and noticed that the bicycle police there road CX bikes. Plus they looked like they rode CX competetively. Usually I look at a bike cop and it's some fat old guy riding an ill-fitting mountain bike that weighs 50 pounds. These guys looked like they could catch me, easily.

I got whistled at by a female bike cop after trackstanding at a light waiting for traffic to clear. She was writing up a guy in a Cadillac just after the intersection. At first I didn't realize where the cat call came from, but when I looked back the two cops were standing beside their bikes giggling.
Double standards I say.
