He he. I had no idea til it came up on telly so I googled it, double and triple checked. I was amazed! Apparently they're going to announce they will send up some more soon.

I can run faster than a man on a pedal cycle, OFFICIAL.

There I was happily walking along minding my own business when over the radio I hear a colleague state a male who is wanted on a warrant has just made off from him, and it's just around the corner from where I am.

I turn into the street (foot patrol wearing boots, stab vest, helmet and utility belt) and there is the blighter pedalling away like that clothing shop only spelt differently.

15 seconds later I have hold of him, handcuffs on, job sorted.

So now todays interesting fact is that I can OFFICIALLY outrun a man on a pedal cycle.
