Did you know...
...that you can get a ticket whilst riding a bicycle? It turns out you can. I guess I have heard such a thing was possible, but figured it never really happened. Well, Wade got one on Saturday, about 40 miles into his 52 mile ride. He ran a stop sign (don't we all run stop signs on our bikes, or in our cars??). The cop actually turned on his lights and pulled him over, asked for his I.D. which Wade didn't have and then replied, "Well, how I am supposed to identify you when your mangled body is lying on the side of the road?" What! He seriously said that! Wade lied and said he had I.C.E. (in case of emergency) typed into his cell phone that he was carrying and then chose to tell the truth when the officer asked for his name and address so he could issue him a ticket. In retrospect Wade realizes he should have fudged the truth on the later...ah, well. Must have been a slow day on the PCH.

that is incredible. poor cop who had nothing better to do. I think he was jealous of wadey's legs.
forget the ticket lets talk about Wade riding 50 miles. Way to go Wade!
Dying! I am seriously dying!
That's pretty funny. Hey let Wade know that I once got pulled over by a cop on a horse in Arizona. That was pretty bad.
How did we miss that story!? That sucks!
What a weenie cop. "How will we identify your mangled body?" Poor guy seriously must have been bored. I thought the cops in Utah were bored. The only times I have been pulled over were for having one of my lights out. Looks like cops get bored everywhere on occasion eh?
I like Kristen's comment about the horseback cop. *good chuckle*
Well I am just soooo glad it wasn't in Wellston. That would really have been a bad day! (Not that any caucasian male would ride a bike through there...and ever stop for ANY reason.)
