Lame.
Keep your eyes open if you commute via the Orange Line MUP near Van Nuys Blvd. in the SFV.
Have you ever been pulled over on your bike?
Yes, it was years ago, and he was off duty at the time. I was coming home from the First Friday concert in Downtown St. Petersburg. I was riding in the right side tire track and he accused me of riding in the middle of the road, as well as not having had lights on my bike.
Also around that time I had another cop make a motion with his hands as I came around a corner and I lit him up that I can only presume meant that he wanted me to dim/turn off my lights.
