I was riding along on my bicycle yesterday, using the bike lane and minding my own business, when I came up on two little piggies strolling along in the sun, taking up the full width of the pavement (sidewalk), including most of the bike lane. I dinged my bell from a little way back, and which point the thickest piggie turned around and shouted 'STOP!'
I stopped, and piggie said 'don't you know you're not allowed to ride on the pavement?' and started asking for my details to write me a ticket.
I pointed down at the cycle lane markings on the ground, but didn't say a word - anything I wanted to say would have got me arrested, no doubt. Thick piggie must have realised he was in the wrong, but wouldn't back down - kept shouting about 'obstructing the police', 'wasting police time', 'aggression' and so-on. Discretion being the better part of valour in this case, I caught his colleague's eye, got the nod, and rode off.

And this is why my grandads sat nav is set to oink when it detects a speed camera.
