Description

These two officers were keeping the street lane free for the cyclists, and rode in front of the main group. For some reason, they played a number of tricks while going, but I noticed some of them better when I looked at the photos at home. So I fancied they were putting up an unwilling sideshow, relying on their speed and the general attention to catch the first glance of the cyclists. I'm neither sure they are doing what they look they are, or I want to offend these serious workers of the streets, but one can't help noticing something suspicious in their behavior! LOL! I had already posted the shot on the left for the Action challenge. I believed that that sort of scratching can qualify as an action ;D) Thank you for your kind comments.

Could be, could be:-) But I've got to say they look mighty smart while doing whatever they are doing. But then Italian designer clothes and shoes/boots are known worldwide for their special flare. Well done.

Interesting shots. Depending upon how slow they were going and how long they were at it, they could have been resting an arm, after a while it gets a bugger holding it up on the handle bar so you rest the arm on your thigh and stretching the legs. One of the hardest things I had to do once was ride a motorcycle in front of a crowd of walkers in a charity event, I was kept down to about 5 kph and the bike wanted to keep stalling or falling over, it took ages to do the ten kms of the walk. At different times I zig zagged across the front of the pack so I could keep the revs up and not get ahead of them, and a whole swag of other tricks to keep my palce and the speed set. Everyone I know thinks it's easy doing a thing like that, right up to about thirty minutes into doing it themselves.
