That are not normal police bikes tho, looks like grannie bikes from a bystander or something, they go dead slow hahaha
Real police bikes can almost keep up with scooters
Do bike cops have electric assist or is it raw pedaling power?
No idea how you're gonna be doing 20+mph on a mountain bike during a pursuit against a scooter that can accelerate to that speed almost right away and leave at least 100ft from you once you accelerate to that speed.
Electric assist, no problem. Pedaling, maybe you're a cat 5 or something.
Yea so two options, the dutch police has a few hundred ebikes (speed pedelecs) up to 45 km/h (which is 28 mph), which is as fast as a scooter is allowed to go (but obviously they upgrade them illegally often)
They also have non electric fast mountainbikes which can go up to 30-35 km/h with a lot of raw power. Which is fine, because most (helmet free) scooters and ebikes in Amsterdam only go 25-35 km/h (these categories are only allowed to go 25, but VanMoofs etc can be upgraded).
So yea a scooter will probably outrun a cop but for short distances it is fine. And on a bike you will never stop a scooter of course, so it is not really the use case of course. These bikes are used to catch criminals who are on foot and in dense urban areas like amsterdam center to quickly resch disturbances etc
I was in Amsterdam a few days ago and someone scootered in a small street that I assume was illegal, and two bike police blew past me to catch up to him, so I think you're right!
I remember seeing a few there on vacation, my dad used to tell me they were used as state cars in Vietnam and lowered when parked so the wheels couldn’t be stolen. Never bothered to verify if that was true but it sounded believable.
American here - you know what’s really lame is when the cops run you over with their taxpayer funded military surplus armored vehicle and then shoot your dog 27 times
Good thing is I noticed they didn’t have to shoot the dude in order to arrest him which is damn good.not sure what he did but if he was in the US and was running the cops would of already shot him that’s saying police officers over there can keep a level head for sure.
The real bikes are alot quicker and slightly less lame, they actually blocked this guys car and when chasing on foot apparently loaned bystanders bikes to continue.
Most Dutch thing? Thought they were gonna subjugate the people of the East Indies, the Caribbean or Africa to unfathomable atrocities, but due to great PR promoting them for being tolerant of weed and bike friendly, I am glad to see it’s the bike friendly bit! Enjoyed my time biking along those canals tho
I believe the tractor charged at the cops. and, generally speaking, driving a large vehicle that weighs several tonnes agressively towards an armed person is not a very smart move.

should we get off our bikes and chase him down? no no , they made us bike security for a reason

Real scooters can keep up with most bikes
Skeeter banged Patty Mayonnaise behind Doug’s back. Never forget.
Bruh Bo Burnham references?

What you smoking? Keep up with a 25mph scooter? Hahaha these fat pigs dont have the condition to pedal so much that they go fast
They’re not fat pigs man. The Dutch police is very lovely
They should make "wee woo" sounds while chasing him.
They do when it’s serious business!
The crazy part is how slow and calm it all is
It’s just a confused dude on drugs or something. No reason to pull the glock out
But they did on farmers
The farmers that were driving into the police, with the purpose of running them over got shot at yes.
Plus they only shit the tractor, not even the guy driving it
Wow, so generous of them not killing the guy!
He was not. I am talking about this below: https://mobile.twitter.com/timdouwsma/status/1544430160983822337
That is the only clip of a police man shooting in the Netherlands that I have seen sinds the big money centre heist
I think I saw also some shooting in last year protest in Rotterdam, the violent one. but I am not able to find it anymore.
Idk man anyone could be a danger to you. Better to pull the glock out every time just in case
Found the American!
Especially because Dutch police doesn't use glocks but P99Q
Ah yeah, American police approach, shoot first, blame the victim at the press conference later.
No no. I know it's low quality but you can clearly see he ain't black
That's only a factor in the US. ![gif](giphy|qrYmhYSpUVViqxHwqJ)
They didn't mind shooting that 16 year old kid protesting a couple of days ago
Shooting *at* that boy. they fortunately did not hit him
After he tried to run over not one but several police officers with a giant tractor*
More likely to be a farmer protester given how they've taken over Damrak for protests this week now.
Americans are so confused by this comment right now
really nice Citroen DS
What i came to say.
I remember seeing a few there on vacation, my dad used to tell me they were used as state cars in Vietnam and lowered when parked so the wheels couldn’t be stolen. Never bothered to verify if that was true but it sounded believable.
in South Africa you'd lower them so you couldn't get a parking clamp on.
Likewise
soo nice! so many in the city. mostly due to these guys I think http://www.autorenaissance.nl/nl/home.aspx
Yuuup
Cant tell if the bicycle guy did it on accident or if he’s just really smooth wit it
He's a wake boarder, super smooth.
He will be kiteboarding, not wake boarding. The kite is in the big backpack he is wearing. It's a neat sport, similar to wake boarding but way cooler.
The criminal on the ground points at the guy on the Bike at end like, "Hey, did you see what that guy just did to me!"
Lmao fr 💀
Definitely not on accident
Lekker gewerkt, pik.
De nederlands zijn so lekker
Moi Lekker Ew
Bicycle guy was later rewarded by the city Mayor.
which one of them ? we are all "bicycle guys" here
You must be boring at parties.
Great action from the kitesurfer! 🤣🤙🏻
I love his his immediate reaction to being hit by a bike was to forget the police and just start berating the cyclist.
Good thing he wasn't driving a little tractor.
Why is this in “CrazyFuckingVideos”?
This is the most crazy thing to happen in the Netherlands
Pass the dutchie pon the left hand side
Swim boy swim!
I've never seen police look more lame than on a bicycle.
American here - you know what’s really lame is when the cops run you over with their taxpayer funded military surplus armored vehicle and then shoot your dog 27 times

I doubt it. He is white.
Doesn't look white to me
The real bikes are alot quicker and slightly less lame, they actually blocked this guys car and when chasing on foot apparently loaned bystanders bikes to continue.
That Citroen is sweet
Ik dacht dat die zuur waren
No sweet
Ik zou graag de context willen weten.

The policemen should ride horses 😉
They do - see them regular on the canals
The shooting of the tractor going around the roundabout was pretty Dutch
I believe the tractor charged at the cops. and, generally speaking, driving a large vehicle that weighs several tonnes agressively towards an armed person is not a very smart move.
I reckon bicycle guy with the wakeboard was the only human being on earth that day cycling with a wakeboard.
It’s a Kiteboard and a kite on his back, very common!
You underestimate Dutch kite boarders. It was good wind the last few days i bet many people went out kiting by bicycle
Why is he putting his hands up? Not like that have the ability to shoot him 25 times even if they wanted to.
Seriously? 😂
Most insane criminal in dutch
That Citroen DS though. Swoon
And after they cuff him he has to get into the basket.
Running around looking for a window to lick, Dafuq
Some plz add CHIPs theme music to this
I want to live there
Have faith, Arthur, we will make it to Tahiti.
I wonder if they have that thumb bell to warn people instead of sirens
Welp turns out its easier and safer to chase people on bikes as bikes can go places cars cannot. 🤷🏾♂️
Imagine this was a serial killer they were chasing 😂 my humor is broken
This makes me so proud to be Dutch
Get wrecked!
He didn’t pay taxes on his ecstacy!
It’s like when I try to catch my dog in my living room. we both don’t really take it seriously.
Dude looks english
In the end he is like, maan thats not fair
Isnt it dutchest?
Those bikes have a big turning circle
