Hahaha, epic!

Oh, thought of another good one that happened last month:

If you're heading into the main part of town here from the south, there's a really steep, long hill that goes down onto main street. Well it's also one of the few roads that has a bike lane. So I love getting up to speed and just hauling down that thing. Usually I'll get up to around 24-28 mph (speed limit is 30) but one day I was really getting it, but didn't pay attention to my computer.

I get down to the bottom of the hill and start to slow down a bit when I hear that tell-tale "woop-whoop" of a siren behind me and see lights. So I pull over and get off the bike to talk to the sheriff's deputy who's just laughing and shaking his head.

Him: "Son, you know how fast you were going?"
Me: "Ummm, to be completely honest officer, no I don't."
Him: (Still laughing) "Well I don't know whether to congratulate you or give you a ticket, but you're the first person I've seen break the speed limit on a bike. Slow it down a bit, alright?"
