scottish tv came into the shop this morning and filmed an interview with a local msp,then i had to act and had a small interview....hope they show it,itll be on grampian news i think...all about this very subject
odd morning to say the least!
a police cyclist rode into me at a fair lick on blackfriars bridge quite recently, i basically stopped him going over the bars. totally not in control.
i would definitely fancy my chances if i was a robber
Seems perfectly sensible to me.
Actually I'd put the neds and coppers at even money. I don't think I'd lose any sleep about having to outrun or chase either.
definitely worth giving it a go in the off season when you are looking for a race... would be fun to do it in deep snow with a surly pugsly.
I sold a bike to a police officer last year who by her own admission had never ridden a bike. Through the course of the sale she told me that she would soon be going on a one day training course with a guide who I knew.
This then would apparently mean she was sufficiently qualified to be one of the first PSNI advanced cycle skills trainers.
Dealt with a load of other cycle cops, did not meet a single one who knew how to ride bike, what type of bike they rode, what a drive train was......nothing.
