So you are ok with cars doing the same thing? Why would a bike commuter be special?
as for hiding in bushes seems to be a common police method.....the SJPD does this for catching speeding cars one guy with the radar/lidar gun and 3 or 4 motor cycles cops to stop and ticket.... especially by a schools and senior citizen centers (always slow down at on Lincoln, must past Malone for San jose types)
