Came to an intersection at a lower corner of the Capitol one night, and saw what looked like a 10-foot chunk of firehose (?) sitting in the lane behind a car already stopped at the light. Decided to stop and throw it to the side, so I unclipped my left foot as usual, and fell straight over to the right. By now I was well-lit by a car cautiously approaching from behind, so I got up, gave him a "DUH!" smile, flung the hose onto the sidewalk, and got back on.

There are cops posted at that intersection 24/7, too, so I wonder if they saw my little stunt.
