police cycle men

[Abitrary]

Ended up getting stuck behind a couple of police cyclists on their Smith and Wessons on the way to work today. Here are my observations:

- They don't wear helmets
- They don't use clips of any sort
- They don't mind cycling on the pavement
- They seem to do a weird manoevre when moving out to the centre of the road, as if one is covering the other one
- They wear bullet proof vests with all the bits on them
- They're pretty slow

Did they make an arresting sight?
Are they getting younger?
How can you have a police-person without a helmet, on or off a bike? It isn't right.

There are 2 gorgeous blonde police cycle ladies in Oxford.

D'you think if I committed an offence in Oxford, they might take down my particulars?

I don't know... I'll ask if I stop draughting them and overtake

I'm sure they'd certainly take you in-hand.

Most of them are not cyclists, they're POB's - policeofficers on bicycles.

- They're pretty slow

That bit of information could come in handy one day.

I'm really hoping they'll chase me down one day, can't wait to leave them for dust

They're only on bikes cos they can't afford the diesel/petrol bill anymore.

The only wrong thing that i can spot is riding on the pavement.

That and the spelling of manoeuvre, so what's your point?

The CoL ones seem to have been put out there with the explicit remit to hassle other cyclists.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what was strange about the police cyclists in Manchester. Then it hit me - they stop at red lights!

Did they have blue lights on their bikes?

I saw these blokes in Lisbon. Now they were slow but they had quick guns!

They look like some kind of Dalek hybrid!
