Don't ever bring a bicycle to a car chase.
Depends on the location, get bike ambulance of sorts around high streets
and really big shopping malls as the bike though heavy with lots of kit is
much faster in such areas and can go places such as the malls or other car
free or awkward to get a ambulance to, and running with that amount of kit takes time.
Do see some police patrols on bikes but they are relatively rare, though
did pass some yesterday on way home. DonrCOt think to be fair they are used
for pursuing generally, as often such folks are know to them, so taking the squad car and parking up waiting for them is I believe much more useful.
