I got harrased big time last month for drinking....some copper shouting at me! FUBAR!
After speaking to several of them (coppers that is) it is well within my rights to have an open can of beer in had while I ride....but not to be drunk....obviously. So stuff them!

I'm going along. If you see a fat fifty year old on a black and white fixie with "Glider" on it; wearing back lycra and a black helmet, do say "hello". This will be my first.

I am a bit relieved to be missing that crazy Le-Mans start and the jostling for position at the beginning of the race.
The spit and curses, the occasional elbow/bike sabotaged, CM is rough man.

yeah - that and the overwhelming stench of petuli oil and beeswax, not to mention the health and safety implications of riding with people who never wash and the dangers of getting a dreadlock caught in the spokes.
