Exactly! Complaining on them for being on sidewalks while on patrol is a ridiculous idea. They are out there for our protection. For years people complained that the police were removed from the public by being almost exclusively in patrol cars; where they were seemingly out of touch and impersonal. Bicycle cops are some of the most approachable patrol officers out there and it is a great way to conduct community policing. Police on bikes not only deter crime, but give the store and home owners someone they can easily talk to if they have a question or problem. People really need something better to complain about. Chill and be glad they are there.
