Oh, the irony.

That stinks! You gave it a good try.

If the sign is well and truly hidden take a picture, go to court, show it to the judge. Maybe the judge will side with you and you won't have to pay a fine. Your day in court is free and $50.00 is 3/4 of an Amici Velocity Jersey. Good Luck.

And AG was accusing me of being a salesman.

Good work, Jones.

Here's the darn thing. You can see the orange cardboard just fine, if you're looking. Any Chicagoan recognizes that cardboard. Usually they tie them on street lamps, so they're more visible. I just didn't notice the sign in the dark tied to a tree when I parked the night before...and I happily took off on my bike in the morning, never glancing at my car. Alas. I'll have to pay the ticket AND buy one (two, maybe!) Amici Veloce items! L.

It might still be worth a try if you explain that you parked in the dark and then rode your bike the next morning so as not to interfere with street cleaning at work. Even though they always say ignorance is no excuse...

Reminds me of snowplowing tickets up north. Snow emergency routes. Can only park on X side on X day...

They don't have either of those down here! :-)

Bummer! (Am I alllowed to say that? )

I'm sorry about the ticket, it is rather ironical. But I'm intrigued about the energy healer.... Wot's that?

I really dislike it when the snowplow routes come out!
