Why?! Because I want to go in front of a judge and be like, well, I was riding on my Trek Portland and my cruise control got stuck thus making me blow through a stop light.

Point is...when you are on the road, you go by the same laws as cars and motorcycles, that includes proof of insurance and Drivers license.
Trust me, we have the whole conversation on tape from the Keller PD. We tried to fight with the Texas Bicycle Coalition.

actually, i dont know i would stop if a cop tried to pull me over while i was on my bike. Might even play tricks on him....like stop then take off in a sprint on my bike when he gets out of his car.
