I set off the speed trap!

[maillotpois]

This morning when I went to spinning at 5:30, I noticed the Mill Valley police-types setting up one of those automatic speed gauge signs at the bottom of a little hill, Camino Alto - the kind of sign with radar that says "Your speed is ___" and flashes a light at you when you exceed the speed limit.

Now Mill Valley has more police per capita than anywhere else I've ever lived. They'll ticket you for going 27 in a 25 zone, and I got pulled over for making a left against the red arrow on my bike at 6 am with no cars around and knowing I would never trigger the light. (The motorcycle cop who pulled me over was super cool - and I agree I really should NOT have turned against the light and cyclists should follow the rules of the road, but it happened to be perfectly safe at the time, etc....)

But I digress....

So I rode over the hill to the doctor today and when I was coming back I'd forgotten all about that sign. But I got it to angrily flash my speed of 32 in a 25 at me! Which was pretty good considering I was easing up from the descent to come to a stop at the light just past the sign!

Anyone ever been ticketed for speeding on their bike? That's a secret goal of mine...

Edit: I just remembered that on the 600k, I set one off going 6 mph, and I was like "I know! I suck! Get over it!"
