The young cyclist with the funky Koday
baseball cap reaches into his back-pocket to provide ID to the
cop
who is about to give him a ticket. He is lucky to be male I guess. He is only geting ONE ticket. The two
women before him each got TWO. The Mass which by now had shrunk to about 50 riders stops in solidarity. The other cops line up along the sidewalk to watch. A local resident walks by and tells the cops that their full
of shit and manny massers voice the agreement. Before the cop has even finshed writing the ticket Davis and
others collect money for Michael's ticket. The crowd cheers as the money is delivered to Michael who smiles, a bit in disbelief.
One of the massers blows a platic horn. It's loud. A cop on the sidewalk freaks out. He steps forward and yells;
"Shut up with that. You're bothering the police officer
writing a ticket."
"Oooh. Music is illegal.", another masser jokes in reply.
The cop continues to write the ticket.
"Yeah, honey. I had a nice day. I wrote a cyclist a ticket
for riding his bicycle."
Another massers pipes in. We all laugh at that one. The cop finally hands Michael the ticket and we continue
down Church singing an alternate version of Yellow Submarine:
'We all live in a fascist regime, fasicst regime, fascist regime.'
There were 170 riders and many first timers. Michael chose to ignore his ticket since he does not have a license and will not be in town again for quite a while. He is a student in Halifax. He says that he will use the money collected to really get CM going out east.
