One time they had the whole right lane of richmond street blocked off with pylons before university ave. I think they had some kind of award show or something, but the right lane was free, clean and clear. The traffic was terrible that day and there was barely room to squeeze between the cars in the driving lane and pylons, so I thought 'sweet! my own personal lane for 20 metres!' No sooner do I cut in through the pylons, a cop jumps right in front of me and I have to skid to not hit him. I look at him with a puzzled expression and he tells me I have to ride on the other side of the pylons. I ask him why and he goes "LOOK, WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT HERE OKAY?"
So I got off my bike, carried it a few feet to the side, got on it, and slowly wobbled my way past the stopped cars. So lame of that cop... Just causing me grief for no reason at all.
I remember on bike day or whatever I was on the ride with miller and the NDP crowd and a cop very rudely told me to move because I was too close to where the politicians were going to ride. So lame...
