(I was just trying to see if there were any good photos of scantily
dressed female racegoers ... and noticed this little bit ...)

Quote from the article :

And ambulance officers will get around on flash new bicycles, to be
used for the first time during the carnival.

Two teams from the Bicycle Response Unit will patrol the racecourse,
with the bikes set to be a common sight at future major events.



So there you go. Drunk or O/D'ing racegoers may well find that a
bicycle saves their lives!

I've heard rumors about this; as far as I know the bike response is
going to be a permament feature in the CBD. If I find out any more
I'll post.
