Re: Range of use
Have you seen that episode of can't-remember-the-name-of-the-TV-programme where the bike paramedic (as motorbike, not as bicycle) got all the way in the middle of Birmingham New Street train station? If memory serves he got all the way to the middle of the pedestrian bridge between the platforms.
Not to mention seeing them under blue lights splicing 3 miles of rush hour town traffic in 5 minutes (that is jumping red lights, having to wait for drivers who fail to see/hear, trying to do it safely so they don't get hurt themselves or hurt members of the public) - phenomenal!
I must clarify I am not trying to belittle the bicycle variety - hats off to them too!
