Sorry, but your cop friend should be fired as a cop. Whether or not it's good for you to ride against traffic, when someone rides against traffic, it puts other cyclists who follows traffic in danger. Many a time I had to veer to the left in front of coming cars and trucks in order to let a salmon rider pass on my right. Those salmon riders don't have the guts to ride on my left and be closer to the trucks and cars. They want the law-abiding cyclists to take the risk for them.
