My one ticket on a bicycle was 2005, Denver, on Quincey Ave on south side of Cherry Hills Country Club. There are several stop signs along this tree-lined street that is one of the light car traffic, east-west bike connectors between the Platte River trail and the Cherry Creek trails.

I slowed and rolled through the stop sign, breaking the letter of the law. Cop gave me a long lecture, approx $40 ticket, and I gave him lots of "yessirs". Had my driver's license with me and showed it as ID. Don't know if it went as points against my license.

Odd thing about it is that there is a bike/walking path along most of that road. But, at that time, the road pavement had fewer hazards and pedestrians than the path, so I chose the road.
