It’s ironic that California, where American car culture was born, was the location of the world’s most famous slow-speed chase—which, some argue, was also the birth of another unfortunate phenomenon: “reality” TV.
Now, I know that two instances of something doesn’t make a trend, especially if those instances are nearly three decades apart. Oh, and the pursuit of O.J. Simpson involved automobiles in the L.A. (no American calls it “Los Angeles”) area, and the chase in this video took place in the northern community of Brentwood.
The police were in their car when they followed their suspect, who was riding a bicycle—not much slower, I believe, than OJ drove his Ford Bronco.
