The bikes arent for chasing people, its just so they can cover more ground than if they were on foot.
I guess mountain bikes are the nearest equivalent to the town bikes edwardian police rode. In that they are comfortable and sturdy to plod along slowly.
But there indeed would be much better choices of bike available now, some city bike/hybrid thing would be perfect.
Whats really puzzling is that all bike cops wear magnum boots.
