well you don't see that every day
Just on the way out of London heading for Manchester. Got overtaken by two police bikes with lights and sirens going at Swiss cottage... Think nowt of it until we catch them up near the big waitrose further up on finchley road "oh look they're on the wrong side of the road riding down the pavement at 20mph, and there's a kid in a hoodie setting a new 200m sprint personal best". 4 patrol cars coming the other way... Mental!!

Re: well you don't see that every day
Thing is we don't know why he was being pursued, could have been anything from robbery to bladed or firearms, no real shocker there - but 2 bikes riding down the pavement, tut tut.

Re: well you don't see that every day
So if a bike cop were ever in the position of a persuit of a car (I know it shouldn't happen, but in reality it may do for a number of reasons).
The occupants of the car think it's a good idea to "decamp" and run down a narrow path. Are we to expect the bike cop to dismount, disconnect radio leads etc, then give chase in full bike gear? Sorry, but I'd rather them blat down the path with lights & sirens going. More chance of catching the scrotes. Lights & sirens should warn people sufficiently (obviously the rider(s) have to be aware of deaf/blind people). |

Re: well you don't see that every day
It was just mad to see such a thing... Traffic was at a stand still and there's two flashing pans razzing along the footpath, even squeezing through a section of footpath with scaffolding over it. There were a few shocked looking pedestrians tucked up against doorways as they passed but they looked to be in full control of their machines...

Re: well you don't see that every day
The kid was probably wanted for doing keepie uppie in a no ball games zone or something
