On Wednesday, a car intentionally bumps me.

This morning started out innocently.

A little kid throws a snowball at me and misses.

No big deal.

Then as I'm going along Arsenal along Tower Grove Park, I'm pedalling steadily with a line of parked cars to my right and traffic passing easily to my left.

Or so I think.

A car pulls along and a voice says "You're slacking, pick it up a little."

I turned to see a St. Louis Police vehicle.

I said "What?" and he repeats himself and then moves along with the steady flow of traffic (which he temporarily slowed).

Please check me for a "Kick Me" sign, because I can't find it.

This interaction with the police makes me think it might be difficult to get anything done if I do report an incident, such as the bumping on Wednesday.
