I must admit, I used to have a poor view of the police (and I still think that some of the times I got stopped were not valid reasons), but since I've been biking, I've changed my mind.
I used to see a riot van on a fairly frequent basis, and that always moved across to let me by, and when I've just been out and about, I've seen bike coppers going the other way who've always given me a nod.
It's a tough job for them tho - they have to deal with the working class masses a lot of the time, so one has to feel sympathy for them.
