Be nice if it catches on.
On a different note, the quote in the article "The operation will see police peddlers radio the details of close-pass drivers for in-car colleagues to intercept at a designated holding point." made me laugh.
People will sell anything, including police it seems

That's great, no more close passes then.

I shouldn't be so sarcastic , its great to see the police doing at least something to get the point across.

"David Cox, Chair of Trustees at cycling charity UK Cycling"
UK Cycling or Cycling UK?
Should have left it as CTC, at least they can't get that the wrong way round!

Somewhat ironically, the officer who was doing the bike patrolling is off work at the moment having been knocked off his bike, I believe.
