Socially acceptable in some circles.
Also I never stated that he should just mind his own business, just that it was unnecessary for him to be riding like a dick, and then to flag a police car. He literally went out of his way.To remedy this I'm just not going to ride my track bikes for a while, and when I do I'll just have a front brake.
If the Alliston incident didn't happen, would this even be as big of a discussion?

Don't worry, I'm sure once the officer had finished with you he started on the 1.2 million unroadworthy motor vehicles.

I had a similar incident just after the Alliston case happened; guy said something like “get a front brake or you’ll be going to prison with that other kid” in a tone that sounded more like a threat than a suggestion. Waving a plod down though, bit overkill.

Why should another cyclist ignore you riding in an illegal manner. Because they ride a bike too they should be complicit and accepting? You're quite naive if you think riding brakeless is regarded as socially acceptable at the moment.
