Policemen riding
Postby Apple » Thu Jan 12, 2012 1:48 pm
How impressive is that. I can’t say they were slim but it looks like they are riding as part of a training thing for the police force.

They've been seen numerous times patrolling the M7 cycleway last year - particularly around school holidays.
I've also spotted them around the Parramatta and Sydney CBD. They've got some especially nice custom made
Hillbrick MTB's.
It's reassuring to see the bike patrols.

It is just a pity that they don't seem to think they need to obey the law like everybody else
