So, I am minding my own business riding home from some medical tests I had to have - including an ECG - and find out this police car has been following me.
I get lectured about it being illegal and take that quietly - I get told bikes cant do 30mph under pedal power - and take that quietly too. Since I have been told by a police officer from the same force that its legal.. and I know for a fact a bike can make 30mph because I have done it myself.
I then get told the bike is illegal... when TWICE I have been told by essex police officers that its perfectly ok to use on the road and does *not* need insurance or a licence since it is a pushbike, albeit one with an engine..
I didnt get any ticket or anything although this cop says he's gonna report me and I might get a summons.. I just wish the little a**holes would get their facts straight... either its legal or illegal. More to the point I dont know whether he was just baiting me or he was being serious..
It probably didnt help I guess that a spoke chewed itself which is why I stopped to see what had broken..
My mental state at the moment is bad enough as it is, without getting this dumped on me as well.. not to mention the sidekick was abusive.
