Ha! Our local bike bobby wanted to do this in our street but Lancashire's speed gun was broken.

What were you more pleased about: the fact that they were on bikes, or the fact that they were pointing a speed gun at drivers?

Well both are a winner surely

On a family cycling holiday in France, cycling through Bordeaux, spotted some cycling plod. They were *fit*

They wouldn't get many speeders by us, average speed is about 1mph as they sit looking at each other in bewilderment.
Good initiative though.

When I was a Polis person I never found any difference in speed whether I had a speedgun in my hand or just happened to be standing around in a fluro jacket without one.

I, and most other Police officers I worked with, have a fairly realistic approach to life....

What happened ?

Did people point and laugh?

My chain came off when I was ambulance on a bike at an event last year, in front of several hundred people. You know that sudden downward-push-meets-no-resistance thing? Very embarrassing. A couple of people asked if I wanted them to ring 999 for me.

There's always a smart alec or two around when you don't want one or two .
