    What he means is that the bicycles they give to the Gardai are pieces of scrap on two wheels.....

    While they are fine on smooth surfaces like Coillte trails centres, they would fall apart if you cycled them over rough ground..

    Yeah, I get that, I was kidding...

    They're also pretty damn expensive pieces of scrap.

    Out of interest, what bikes have they been supplied with?

    Also, I've never seen a wheel fold like that

    Basic MTB's, something you may buy cheap for commuting to work.

    I always wondered who they got to do the bike chase in the movie, must be a known Mountain biker surely.
