I must get my illegal machine out again. I seem to spend all my time
skating these days. You've reminded me what fun it is, so I'll pull it
out of the garage once more and have some fun. Thanks

I bicycled illegally for some time.
However I could not put up with the sactimonious hassling I got from the
constabulary, or even worse from the self-righteous nannies in their
SUV's who made comments about my lack of something as they whizzed past
(usually too close)
So I got myself an exemption from the requirement to wear a "Safety
Helmet"


I cycle illegally most days. The policemen seem friendly enough. I've
had two busybodies try to tell me off, the last was waving a fist out
of the window while simultaneously holding a phone and steering with
the other one, at the same time as overtaking on a blind bend on a
narrow road.

I gave his advice the consideration it deserved.
