Bike Route Blockers

This was my attempt to snap a picture of a cop car that was parked in the bike lane at 110 St. and Jasper Ave. I was readjusting the camera settings when the officer got out of the car and demanded to know what my problem was.

I explained that he was parked in a cycling lane. He told me that he was waiting to catch a Hummer that had reportedly been tearing up and down Jasper. There were claims someone in the Hummer had a firearm, the officer said, adding he needed the hill beside the bike lane to hide his cruiser.

“Things aren’t always as they seem,” the officer said.

“I suppose not,” I replied. “And I’m all aginst Hummers.”
