Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Good Cop Bad Cop

I understand, there are many long distant, rails to trails routes that are now being patrolled by the cops for their dusk to dawn curfews. As one who likes to get in some big miles in without messing with traffic, what should I do? I could ride by the light of the Moon or something like that so no one see me. What do you think?

Do whatever you want. ETA so long as you’re following the golden rule.

Be respectful and feign ignorance if caught.

Ignore them and keep riding? If they really bug you just say you didn't know and ride on.

I once knew a guy who made up a foreign language (on the spot.) After a while, the cop gave up. Talk about Balls!

I am good. I have no need to talk about balls people talk about them plenty. Though good job on that person with that fake language I do appreciate that. Sadly some cops do not even understand simple basic English and they are American cops and they also can't even read body language maybe the local Dunkin Donuts menu...

Wow, I hadn't heard of that. I've ridden through the night a couple times on the Palouse to Cascades. I had my headlights blazing, blinding all the deer.

#$%^&* am I reading?

If you do not want to be under cops' radar, bike riding is your safe bet. As a bike rider, you need no driver's license, no registration, no insurance, no DUI, da da da.

You can totally get a DUI on a bicycle.

Does it happen often? No. But is it legally possible? Yes.
