bicycled bobbies

Bobbies on the beat - a great idea. I like having the friendly neighbourhood fuzz wandering around keeping the peace. Police on bicycles is another good idea - you have the friendliness of the local copper, but with added mobility in case there's a crime other than littering and graffiti to take care of.

This morning I had a I wish I had a camera on my mobile phone moment - I saw 3 policemen (well, 2 and 1 woman) on their bikes. They had matching yellow bikes, green trousers and orange lycra tops with POLIZEI inscribed on the back. Let's just say they they wouldn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of the criminal minded and leave it at that.
