An old friend and I were talking yesterday and it reminded me off an interaction we had while on a bike ride in Texas. I used to work for a construction company that would travel around and build chain restaurants. In the mid-90's, We traveled to deep east Texas to build a restaurant. Stayed in a local hotel. Pretty small town. Really rural. There was NOTHING outside of town for miles but other tiny small towns. Depending on where we were working, I would bring along a mountain bike or my road bike. One Saturday a coworker and myself mapped out a ride that we judged to be about an 70 - 80 mile route and set off as soon as there ws daylight enough to ride. It was a mix of forest woods and fields. Agriculture. Two lane roads that were nice and [smooth. It](https://smooth.It) was a beautiful day. A pickup with a younger guy driving it slowed down to our pace and just stared at us for a moment than continued on. About n20 minutes later, the same truck with a different driver did the same thing. About 20 minutes after that we heard a police siren in the distance. Out of nowhere a police car barreled down on us, nearly locked up his brakes and pulled in front of us nearly causing us to hit him. "A chubby cop, poorly shaven, poorly fitting uniform, HAND ON HIS GUN, jumps out of the car - "OFF THE BIKES, OFF THE BIKES, NOW!". Okay... I noticed that the pickup truck had pulled a little ways up the road and was just watching. After demanding ID and telling us to "Shut the f up" when we asked what the problem was. "What are you doing out here? Where is your car?" We explained that our car was in a town about 35 miles away and we were on a bike ride. "Im not going to ask you again, boy. You expect me to believe that you rode these bikes 35 miles? You keep lying to me like that and I will take you to jail. What are you doing out here? I got a call that you were riding your bikes on the road. Where is your car?" HE GOT A CALL, THAT WE WERE RIDING OUR BIKES ON THE ROAD. He called for backup and a county sheriff came with a pickup. They were going to take our bikes. They both claimed we were lying. "It would take you at least 8 hours to ride 35 miles and you claim that you left at 6am? Who do you think you are lying to, boy?" They refused to tell us what laws we were breaking. They literally had no idea if it was legal for us to ride bikes "on the road" and would "look it up". It was weird. Eventually, ANOTHER guy, in civilian clothing, gun on his hip, driving a red F150 from the "county fire department". A fireman responded to the police call of two guys riding bicycles "on the road". HOWEVER, this fireman seemed to have a bit of rational thought and after questioning us (an armed fireman questioned us about riding our bicycles "on the road"), he seemed to think that we didnt represent any danger to the community or were breaking any laws. So the original fat sloppy unshaven redneck cop, YELLING, told us that we had to turn around and we werent allowed to travel by bicycle any further in "my county". Because he "didnt know" what we were doing out there and we werent "from around here". He YELLED this in our faces. We followed the instructions, rode single file, with the cop behind us, police lights on. When we decided to see how fast we could go with this cop behind us, he pulled up and and again, said that he would take us to jail for "playing games". Apparently, two guys riding bikes "on the road" were the biggest criminals to come through this area for a long time, and it took two cops and a fireman to handle the call. I am surprised they didnt call the governor and the national guard. I dont know what would have happened if we had been black people out there. It was the weirdest interaction I have had with any sort of authority figure. They were really freaked out. Two guys, two bicycles = emergency situation, danger to the community. REDNECK COPS - wtf?

I started at a trek bicycle concept store back in the first week of June, when I was hired I was told they’d give me 9 dollars an hour and I was just gonna be a sales associate. Fast forward to present day I’m still making the same amount of money, I’ve now progressed to working as a bike mechanic and working the front. We’ve hired 5 new people in the past month and half. I’ve been basically baby sitting them making sure everything is done right and being constantly annoyed when I’m trying to work on something to have to go and help them with a problem. Even after being told how to do it numerous times. I found out recently that everybody who got hired is making more then me. I’ve been with the shop through super slow months where there was nothing to do to busy months where it was crazy and jam packed. So I find it absurd that new people who have no experience working on bikes and the system we use for sales get paid more then me. I’m planning on sitting down with the boss tomorrow and voicing my concern and complaint. Any advice on how to approach the situation?
