He was going to bust me for no back brake, but I told him it was a coaster brake-and he was dumb enough to buy it. He also thought that my slick tires were "bald".
I hate cops. Like high school jocks that never grew up.

we were just talking about cambridge cops the other day
https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespeed-fixed-gear/103718-bike-cop-awe.html
definitely look into the stuff about brakes, because i got out of a small fine in cambridge by showing them i could stop.
