Our friends were bringing my son back by train and the station was a few blocks away, so I grabbed my son's bike and rode it to the pick up point to get him. As the ride would have been dangerous towing his bike, I went down solo to get him. As I go down the hill a police officer gets out of his parked car and with a bit of an attitude says to my wife that her friend (meaning me) obviously can't read. The sign he (I) couldn't read said no pedestrians. The officer said this with a bit of attitude, and seeing the extra bike, questioned my wife as to where our third rider was.

When I came back with my son, my wife told me about the conversation she had just had with the officer. Whereupon I had the police roll down their window and asked what the problem was. When he told me I informed him that I am a vehicle....same road, same rights, same rules (being a bit sarcastic with him). At least his partner got a kick out of my breaking a few balls. Odd with all the commuters in our city myself included that he could be so ignorant...go figure.
