After I wrote that I didn't remember one incident of bicycle cops riding by road rules, I remembered one incident where they were riding in the street in at a fast rate to some location. I think it was during some of the war protests and there were in sort of a convoy with police cars who had their lights and sirens going. I suppose the bicycle cops were being escorted across downtown to wherever they were needed, and they were moving at a fairly rapid pace. I would think they were in pretty good shape if they were ready to take on rowdy protestors after that ride.
