Crime fighting cyclists

Toronto police chase a bad guy on foot. He's getting away! A pair of cyclists let the officers borrow their mountain bikes. Bad guy captured. Hurray for good citizen cyclists!

Update: Blue Collar has a link to a much better telling of the story.
From his perch on an 18-speed mountain bike, Christos watched as two officers in heavy vests and full gear lumbered after a man who allegedly had fled from a parked vehicle near Pape and Fulton Avenues, north of Danforth Avenue.

He thought the officers were falling behind, so he pulled up beside a sprinting Constable Rich Laing and said: "Take my bike. Go get him."
