At some point this turned into a saga

So, I got a $200 ticket for biking in the walk zone on campus in July. I was an avoidant moron and didn't look at the ticket until a week ago, when I realized that I had missed all the opportunities to take the bike class that would reduce the fine to $50. I was able to get the campus police to extend the processing period for the ticket…but only until the last class of the month, when I will be in Minneapolis. I actually considered changing my flight, but there is no way that it would be less than $150. …Actually, I should check that again. I could fly out on Friday and vastly inconvenience myself even further for about $100 more, which would save me about $50 off the cost of the ticket all told. Not worth it.

I would just like to note that $200 for biking in the walk zone is more than the ticket I got when I was pulled over driving a car with expired registration without current proof of insurance. So, in conclusion, my fundamental dislike for the campus police remains unchanged.

I did finally buy myself a bike pump with a working hose and air pressure gauge and oh my god, tire pressure, never leave me again.
