Ticketed for running stop signs

[ny biker]

Radar guns do work on us. I once had a cop tracking me down a small hill -- fortunately, 19 mph in a 25 mph zone. The cop called out my speed as I passed and it was fairly close to my bike computer's readout, so they definitely can track us.

Yes, one time on a training loop I passed a cop with a radar gun several times. The last time I passed him he called out my speed. He seemed pretty amused.

I've had one of the permanent "your speed is" signs catch me doing 32 in a 25 (downhill and I was drafting a stronger rider). REALLY wish there was a cop sitting there

I find some of the "traps" will read me and others won't. I have a bad habit of picking up 2 cogs when I find one that will read me...like it's going to help any because I'm normally doing 12-13 in a 40

There's a live chat at noon today on the Washington Post website with Capt. Thom Shaw from Loudon County. He'll be answering questions and taking comments about bike safety/rules of the road, etc. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...061201539.html
