How random that I come across a thread like this today. On my ride to work this morning, my usual route was blocked off, but they left an alley open that runs along side the street. When I came out of the alley about 2 blocks down, the street was still blocked off. I rolled up behind a cop, who must have been dozing off, cause I asked if it was ok to ride through from here, and he just about shat himself. He looked iritated and said I had to go all the way around. Totaly messed up my ride.
I told my wife later, and she got mad, she's all like, what if he turned around and shot you? Hmmmm I never thought of that. Oh well.
