LEO's aren't infallible.

Four days ago while cycling "with the traffic" a deputy sheriff had just informed some Jr. High School age kids they had to ride "against the traffic". It was the law he advised them. He was also wrong.

The kids stopped to tell me this bit of misinformation as we were all cycling and were coming into a head-on meeting of sorts, but all slowed down to a stop as we met.

They seemed kind of glum (apparently the deputy had been rather stern with them) and warned me to go against the traffic per his instructions.

I let them know the deputy was misinformed, but since this LEO was still in sight I suggested they keep on cycling against the traffic.

I pedaled right past him, go with the traffic flow and he didn't stop me.

If he had, I have a printed copy of the law and it's number in my bike bag.
