WTF is the point of an officer on a bike? Not a motor, an actual bicycle.
I had a less than friendly encounter with them once, and I couldn't help from laughing the entire time at how funny the situation must have looked.
It depends upon the circumstances of how the officers are being used. Everyday patrol answering calls, not so great. Specific enforcement, much more effective. Ever see Las Vegas Metro on the bikes on the strip? They can get through all the traffic and people faster than a patrol vehicle.

Years ago, I did the bike thing during concerts. I was able to move through all the parking lots quickly and quietly to catch people doing wrong, breaking into vehicles, alcohol issues, etc.
