I skipped out on this one. He gets another call on the radio and has to leave but, not before writing down the info I gave him about my address etc.
As this story made the rounds with the friends it turns out I was hardly the first cyclist to be stopped around downtown HB, particularly in the summer.
For a number of years, around the Fourth of July, the cops could and, often did, arrest people who were on bikes w/o a 'bike license'. The license was free but, you had to go city hall and register for it. They came up with this idea to cut down on the "rioting" that was infamous around Huntington on the 4th.
