I got stopped by LA Sheriffs, ostensibly, for riding on the sidewalk. He slammed on his brakes and jumped out of the car like he was apprehending a bank robber. He got a better look at my expensive bike and decided I wasn't homeless and backpedaled out of the situation. As he left he said, "transients usually ride bicycles".

According to the LA Dept. of Trans. it is not illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk in Agoura Hills. He didn't know the law. I complained to the volunteer patrol and I never saw that sucker again.
