If I were in your shoes and I had the opportunity to do the exact same thing. I would do it, I would do it every day that no one was anywhere close.

Ride your bike like you own it, ride your bike like you own the road and laugh at the person hanging out the window acting like they're a friend of the Supreme Law of the Land....
