Wood shampoo? He tries that and he'll be fighting for his career. ..again, one more reason to have a camera.
ok, go get your camera and go looking for trouble then. you have other issues with authority if you
feel you need to start dragging a camera around to record police encounters. I have well over 220,000
miles of cycling and have yet to have a police officer need to stop me or talk to me about riding or how I ride. OK once one told me to stay on the other side of the double yellow, but that was a race, and he was a volunteer official...
but if one cop did need to stop me and talk to me, I would say yes sir, sorry sir, what do I need to do now, and thank you.
in the meantime the rest of us will just do as told, and not cause a fuss,
and live happy, uncomplicated bicycling lives
