Nothing more happened other than I continuely filtered past him at each light, probably pissing him off more each time
Dude,
you Rock.
I got warned by a LEO one time, a few years ago, for speeding...and I was speeding, in the middle of the motor vehicle lane. He was on foot and it was just a hand signal to slow it down. I did, until I got around the curve and out of his sight. He had seen me at this location before and after that particular day, and nothing else came of it.
As for being passed, I was in my canoe fishing the St. Marks River this past weekend, and got to thinking about the powerboats going by. Some would slow to pass, others would not. Some slowed to idle speed, others only slowed to off plane, throwing a larger wake. I started equating this to cars and cycling. What I came up with is; as long as a safe distance is kept, I would rather be passed at a higher rate of speed. The faster they pass, the sooner the get the heck away from me.
I can be a very sociable person when I want to be. I rarely want to be.
