I am trying to convince my wife that we need a vacation cottage.

Do you mean pedal bike or motorcycle? If pedal bike, then you are another fat cop on a mtb that has no clue how to ride???

Here in Canada, all the police officers on bikes (not security guards), have bellies hanging over their shorts. Seems to just sit on their bikes in one spot looking clueless.

I like to pedal by them calling them foul names. They are too weak to chase me down. Then again all police are power hungry arses, who break the law more then the average person.

It is great if in your country, they have some ability to do something besides suck back lard....

truuuuuuu dat!!! nah there very good.. i like to think that the cops here are very conciencious and community oriented... some bad stuff happens but most of the time they are really nice... ive ridden up to a pair of them and just chated away for a while...
ive gotta say id be too scared to swear at these guys im pretty sure they would be way faster than me on a bike!

So you're from toronto... whats your hockey team... we dont get much ice hockey here but i play in-line hockey about three times a week.. im on the defence academy team.. we all fantasize about playing ice!!

That is what seperates us, I'm faster then the police.

Our hockey team is the Toronto Maple Leafs, but we call them the Make Believes. They have not won the Stanley Cup or the championship in like 60 years. They suck as a team. Prefer Vancouver's or Denver's team......

Keep dreaming of ice, keeps you cool.....

Hey, Mr 5 posts, what gives you the right to tell anyone what to discuss on this forum? This is under "General" section, where just about anything can and shall be discussed. If you do not like it, then do not read the posts, go to more serious section of forum, or leave. More to life then just cycling....

I'll agree that there is more to life than just cycling, but again, police and ice hockey.
