The other day I rode down to Peachtree Center to do some banking. When I came out I began unlocking my bike but because some dofus had chained his bike nearly right on top of mine. I was having a problem getting at the lock. That's when an APD foot patrolman came up on me and asked me what I was doing. I explained the situation and surprisingly he asked for proof the bike was mind.
And you know what I can see why he did, he must have been watching me trying to get at the lock for at least two minutes, for all he knew I was just a well dressed bike thief. I told him that my name and address were etched on the seat post. Then I pulled it to show him where it was at. That satisfied him but with all the thievery that goes on I'm glad he showed enough interest to check me out.

Wow, that's really great. Glad to see they're doing their job!
You know, us bike commuters always testify how we would like everyone to ride bikes. Then something like your lock incident happens, which kind of makes me feel good that I am one of the only ones on a bike in my town.
Now that I said that, I also wonder how many people call me Otis behind my back. (the town drunk in Mayberry).
