I went to a wedding in the city about 6 months ago and had the bike outside. I was unlocking as a city police went passed. I then hopped on, wobbled througha green man and heard aforementioned bobby shouting "STOP". I realised I had just cycled through a pedestrian crossing, in front of a policeman after drinking a lot of beer, champagne and a couple of tequilas. He asked me why i had gone thruogh the light, then as soon as i opened my mouth asked me if i had been drinking. I think saying "No of course not occifer" while wobbling didn't go down too well. He threatened me with doing me for drunk in charge of a bicycle. After some "YEs sir, no sir" he then relaxed and told me to fuck of in a taxi and he'd be following me via cctv.
