   Especially on 24th street going down by painter and in that area. 
That is the best spot to do it.  The stretch of downhill on 21st is too 
short to safely gain any speed, but you can still pass those slow cars
who are trying to obey the laws. :)

  They are really annoying, but fortunately they are easy to spot,
predicatable and for the most part avoidable.  The only thing I can
be thankful for is that they are usually only active at times and places 
that it really would be dangerous to run a stop sign or ride on the 
sidewalks.  I don't mind enforcing a rule when it is generally 
correct to do so. (i.e. the activity truly is dangerous or potentially
so)
