I was underwhelmed by the video. So.... he rides with his friends ON THE ROAD! OMG! Get over it, people. The police escort seems to be a bit much, but frankly I have no clue how normal it is for a big-city mayor to have police traveling with him around town. Does he have a limo & driver? If so, his riding expends about the same level of manpower as taking a ride in his limo.
And even if it is a "training ride", he's still getting out on the city streets. As we all know, you see a city in a different light when you ride as opposed to driving.
