Police bike patrol in Philipsburg

I don't think they can peddle faster than the motorized scooters.

Yeah, it can't hurt, to increase patrols as high season approaches, but they surely can't keep up with the hoodlums on scooters.

I think it is a great idea and has a definite deterrent factor. Good for public relations with residents and the visiting public. In the event of a fleeing felon, they can radio for police car backup.
