You want to check out the London City Police bikes...........full top spec'd Santacruz Chameleons (not 100% sure on the spelling).

Fairplay to the Police pictured at least they had a go..........makes them a little more approachable I think.

The police round here ride some fairly decent spec'd XC Marin bikes. We always get on with them pretty well and have a good laugh, which im guessing is part of there job trying to build trust with youth's in the area

If anyone works in central London, have a look at liverpool street at rush hour - they all congregate outside.

fair play and masive respect to them for giving it a go...... sure made me giggle, but end of the day,they came and gave it a go, they'll have renewed respect for what we do, and well, you gotta respect them for what they did!!!

Sort of goes to show that if you do have a run in with a cop on a bike though and u get chased, shouldnt really be too much hassle!  Wink

Not that I'm in any way condoning breaking the law just to see how much faster u are than a cop on a bike...

Ha! When was the last time you raced?! It's never been that cheap!

Was an awesome weekend over at Coppull track, the 2 cops that raced were incredibly good sports and it was perhaps the best bit of promo the Lancashire force has ever had! Fair play to them.

Also, the jumps at Coppull aren't small, 30ft step up on the 2nd straight is proof of that, there are also amazing trails trackside. A mint facility and well worth a visit.
