Almost Booked For Speeding - ON A BICYCLE...

So, I was minding my own business just enjoying a hard earned freewheel down a steepish decent when a 30 mph sign popped up. At this point is I was sitting on around 40 mph tucked into the most aerodynamic pose I could manage, and enjoying every second of the ride when a police vehicle rounded the corner. I could see the passenger looking my way and pointing directly at me......

Instantly I jumped upright using my body as an air break and pumped the breaks to brush off as much speed as I could manage. By this time the police vehicle was almost level with me and both the driver and passenger appeared very interested in my actions. No, not because that were planning on pulling me over and reading the riot act. They were both looking, pointing and laughing. Thankfully my reaction to the situation, from the outside, must have appeared a little on the comical side.
