For rolling through a stop sign

In a neighborhood


ON MY BICYCLE

Me and some older businessman who was riding his bike too both got pulled over.

Contest it. I doubt the officer will even show up and it will get thrown out. If he does show up he'll probably get laughed out of the room by the judge.
 
wouldn't that have been funny if you just kept riding? next thing you know you're on the news' heli-cam with like 6 cops crawling behind you

That is insane. Unless you caused a traffic accident or something...

Garbage. Fight it and you will win, no problem.
 
if a cop pulled me over while I was on a bike, I'd wait until he got out of the car, then I'd start pedaling

Sorry to say but that's fing hilarious. I got a ticket in Lake Oswego for speeding on a bicycle when I was 13 for passing a cop down a hill on the right and in the dirt. He said I was doing 45 in a 25 and when my dad and I went to court the judge asked me if I was going that fast .I told him I have no idea since my bike wasn't equipped with a speedo . The judge said he was kidding and threw it out but did tell me to watch next time and he would have a little talk with that police officer. Wish he didn't because that cop pestered me for years after that.
 
That does suck. Unfortunately bikes are subject to the same rules of the road as cars for the most part. Sounds like the cop may just have some personal issues. Did he immediately go after some people jaywalking after that? Because jaywalkers are reported to be particularly unruly.

I'd be a wise @$$ "so do you need my license and registration officer?"

And don't forget the insurance.
And while he was there, ask him about if your bike'w window tint legal or not.(enguard)
