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.
