Riding in traffic is so much more enjoyable when they think your a cop. One guy told me only cops ride blue bikes with a bag on the back rack.
I have bearded guys in pickup trucks giving me the right of way making a left turn. Most of all though, the majority of vehicles slow down when they pass me and give me plenty of room.
I never planned to look like a bike cop, but I also make it a point to keep this look.
