I feel really boring since I’ve never really had any altercations with cops. Ive had a couple of cops roll down their window and ask me about my bike at a red though and I had another on foot chat it up with me as I locked my bike. They never seem to be around when I’m drunk and running lights.
I got pulled over Saturday afternoon for cutting some traffic off I guess. In my opinion there was plenty of room, but I wasn’t entirely sober. I came out of a parking lot and dashed across a 5 lane road shortly after the light turned green at an intersection about 50 feet away. He just continued to lecture me until I quit defending myself and then let me go because I haven’t had a ticket or anything in years and years.
[quote=crushkilldestroy]One time I was riding my bike and ran over a cop’s daughter. He asked me to apologize and I gave him a quick rabbit punch to the throat because I just don’t give a fuck.
And I’m pretty sure that kjohnnytarr is gonna win this thread for that whole whatever thing that he did.[/quote]
The sheriff’s after me for what I did to his daughter

when i was about 5 or 6 i won a bike in a colouring competition in the post newspaper. this thing was badass; putrescent purple, white saddle, platforms and risers, coaster brake. i used to ride it up and down my driveway for hours and do a tight u-turn just before the road. anyway one day i was fanging it towards the end of the drive and a cop pulled up and yelled “put a helmet awwwwwwwwn!” and gave me a mean old glare. scarred for life.
I’ve had 2 close calls going through red lights misjudging… just had to dig like fuck not to get hit. And one time I rode my bike into the left hand turning lane to make an unprotected left hand turn… trackstanded there and a lady cop pulled up behind me to turn also, it was awkward. Nothing happened though.
Never gotten caught pulling illegal shit though, always on the lookout for the sharks though. I’ll be happy if in the 2 months before I turn 18 I don’t get a no helmet ticket with an added on no brakes, and some bullshit for pulling an illegal traffic maneuver.
kjohnnytarr’s on the run
I was riding home drunk with 2 friends one night when a cop coming the other direction flashed his lights and stopped us. He got out and told us we all needed to have lights. We all looked at each other quite confused because we all had lights, front and back. We were like “uh officer, we have lights?” and he just stammered on about how we’re lucky because we need them! Then he got in his car and drove away.
and so we rode home drunk as shit confused as all hell.
also i blow lights and 4 way stops in front of cops all the time and they dont seem to care.

one lonely beastie i be
I’ve spent 4 days on the run and I’m dying of thirst…
I live to befuddle and heckle the police.
All by myself without no-bod-y.

I was trackstanding at a red and there was no cars at the intersection except a cop approaching the green. I had already been trackstanding for 10-15 seconds and the cop just slows to a stop and waves me through the red. I shook my head and waved him by but he wouldn’t move so I just went through the red, it was an odd encounter.
On key biscayne here they’ve started ticketing cyclists who run reds. A friend of mine ran a red then got pulled over. Before he could get out of the car a roadie rode by and yelled “get a life you fucking pig” The cop chased him down as my friend made a run in the opposite direction.
I was on my geared commuter coming home one evening and I came up to a red light and didn’t feel like foot dropping. So I just did a slow circle in the huge empty crosswalk waiting for the light to change. A cop in an unmarked car waiting behind me flips on his lights and gets out of his car. I stop and he starts yelling at me with the whole “You have to obey all the traffic codes just like cars.” I pointed out that I was waiting for the red light to change and not just running it. “Well, just stop and wait behind the line like everyone else, and put a helmet on!”
This didn’t happen to me, but on my way home I saw a traffic stop that blew my mind. A cop had pulled over some guy who was sitting on the curb. Apparently this guy was so dangerous that the cop had to call in for backup because there was a SECOND cop car to help with this major bust of a cyclist. Cops in Arlington county have absolutely nothing better to do apparently.
At critical mass last night half the group was through a green when it turned red and the rest followed through. There was a cop who pulled up beside us and said “if you don’t follow the rules of the road then you’ll have to get on the sidewalk” Then spun his tires at the next red light.
got pulled over today for speeding and blowing a red light as i was carrying my momentum down a big hill going 35+mph. i was too busy concentrating on what was right in front of me to see the cop on the side street. this was in eau claire, wisconsin which has the most police officers per capita in the country i’m pretty sure. after blowing the light i moved into the fast lane to catch a draft behind a car that was also speeding… lulz. the looks i was getting were pretty priceless as i was being pulled over.
i was pretty pissed until i got the ticket and it was only $20. good thing i didn’t run - thought about it, most likely could have gotten away.
after about 10 minutes of the cop sitting in his suv and jerking off, i tried to approach and ask how long this was gonna take as i had to be to work pretty soon. my skinny ass in spandex must look scary coz he steps out with his hand on his firearm, telling me to back away. apparently i didn’t walk far enough away before stopping b/c he actually put in in reverse and back up a few feet. oops.
In chicago I was cutting though some uknown side streets and turned to see what was coming up on me(after having already blown a few signs.) Piggies riding in a new tahoe. I wanted to hit an alley and pretend like they would chase me. I wasnt about to start stopping, so kept doing it for a few blocks and didnt get any response.
got caught on my bmx bike weaving through traffic and running a red. $200 ticket…fuck.
