Yeah, Monaco is a weird city when it comes to showing wealth

I crossed it recently on my worn out but functional bicycle, to go from where I had to be in France to a cute touristy village in Italy (it was a lovely ~80km ride)

I saw a shinny Ferrari being pulled over as I entered Monaco. (he probably thought he was some f1 driver in the tunnel) On the other end of the small country, a cop saluted me when I asked directions, then blocked the road to let me cross safely.

Only in Monaco.

(I also happened to have asked directions to a French cop earlier, and he wasn't as classy. And riding a bike in the surrounding area in France is very dangerous, because of angry car drivers) I plan to come back to visit the museums, and to go to the stadium.

They frequently stop cars that are entering at the "border", especially if the plates aren't from Monaco. If the Ferrari had the 4-character plates it likely would have been let through without a second look.

Quite a few reasons they do this, but the police prefers cyclists so worked out for you.
