Tim ColeI can remember riding around on the handlebars of a bike when someone else was riding it. Someone really must want this person BAD to consider charging them with felony fleeing on a bicycle. Postscript: Just so no one get's the wrong impression, it's been about 35 or 40 years since I rode on the handlebars.
