Lessons learned from the run:
1) Let the girls do the talking to the police.
2) Extinguish headlights when taking photos.
3) Nexus hubs rock!

me: "sorry, sir. we didn't know that. we're from dc."
cop: "i'm pretty sure it's illegal there too."
me: "i'm sorry, sir. we're just confused."
classic.

this also might have worked, given the neighborhood: "Sorry sir, we're just on the way to the [insert one: yacht, country] club."

WTF, you guys got stopped? I didn't know that. Give full details, pls. What did the cop say? Why did Sol say that you have a right to the road (that is, what was he responding to?)?

we ran a red light, and according to the cop, someone "nearly got hit." he didn't know how to deal with a large pack of swiftly moving pirates, though, so he sort of drove up and down the pack yelling at each of us in turn, until i stopped him, by stopping myself.

Speaking of you cow,,,

We need a who's-who on those photos. I need to connect names with faces...

Yeah i agree with emily, maryland bicycle laws suck, so we should be very cautious there or avoid maryland streets.
