For my 20th birthday (the first birthday we were married), Cliff got me a cute bike for my birthday--exactly what I wanted. We lived too close to campus to drive, but too far to be regularly on time for class by walking. Therefore, the bike was PERFECT.
One day, I was riding home, and didn't wait for a light to turn green. No one was around (or so I thought), and so, I pedaled through the light. Next thing I know, a cop is behind me with his lights on. "Are you for real??" I thought.
I peddled fast through the stadium parking lot, thinking there's no way he would chase me down the large sidewalk. I pedaled faster and faster, but could not gain fast enough speed to outride the cop. I wasn't even sure if he was actually after me...until I heard in an intercom/megaphone? ... "Excuse me....please stop!!"
Yeah, I finally stopped, and he threatened to give me a ticket for riding through a red light (LOW traffic area, in case you were wondering). He was "nice" and let me off with a warning.
How pathetic is that?

I love that story. The visual of you trying to win a "speed chase" on a bike...and even thinking you could get him by cutting through the parking lot! At BYU, no less! Funny girl.
Even though you are in shape and have the leg muscle, I am pretty sure no biker in the world could outrun a cop car. That story cracked me up. It is pretty lame that a cop would bother with a biker though. I guess that is what they have to do around a college campus though. Cute bike. I love cruisers.
haha, i laugh at this because josh is always telling me about provo cops and how they have nothing else to do so they give out lame tickets! and in this case, lame warnings!
