    That's nothing.........

    I used to work at the Scottish Polce College (civilian staff). Anyhoo there was one of the training officer who was into running in a big way. He was out running (coming out of Kincarding towards Cairneyhill) when 2 kids past him on mountain bikes, one of them fired an air pistol at him and cycled off. He gave chase and caught up with the little blighters about 7 miles later (just before CH). He said when he caught them they were totally knackered!!

    The first time I saw a modern Police bike was when we were touring in New Hampshire in the USA on our tandem in 1996. We had quite a long chat with a cop on a modified ATB and he told us that they were very effective catching drug dealers down back allies amongst other things.

    A bit different from the Bobbies of my youth making stately progress on their sit up and beg Raleighs with a cape over their shoulders :)

    Old cyclists never die; they just fit smaller chainrings ... and pedal faster

    It's true.
    Some drug dealers do use their back alleys for storing their gear.
    :wink:
