A rush of adrenaline might make you stronger and faster, or at least feel as if you are. It does not, however, improve your cycling skills.
Raymond Rodriguez of Roseburg, Oregon discovered that the hard way. Around 3:50 this past Saturday morning, a police officer tried to stop him. He took off--and crashed.
It's not the first time I've heard of someone crashing while trying to flee on bicycle. My guess is that Rodriguez, like most criminals, is not an experienced cyclist--or, at least, he was riding under greater stress than normal.
Anyway, after crashing, he did what almost all would-be fugitives do in such a situation: He tried to continue on foot. And he met the same fate as those others: He was caught in short order. And arrested.
While in custody, cops found methamphetamine on him. He was jailed for that, and interfering with police, but has since been released.
Maybe now he can work on his high-speed cycling skills.

Police are like sight-hounds: If you try to run away, they will chase you.

ReplyDeleteThe dislike button is an enigma, I dislike the result but not the post...
Mike--Tell me about it! Sometimes they try to make you run away so they can chase you.
