Happens all the time. Two of my colleagues have been caught after trying to run in the last two months; the police are especially tenacious in the City. It's now an arrestable offence with a large fine. And, if like one of my colleagues, you happen to be carrying a fruit knife you'll get charged for that too and end up in front of the magistrate.
Better to stop, be polite and hope they will let you off with a lecture (which nowadays always seems to come with the ghoulish scraping-off-the-road-crying-family bit). If they don't then accept that getting fined from time to time is going to happen.
If you can't pay the fine, don't ride the fixie.
