PC Hipsta - He'd join the bicycle squad if they had the right bikes ...

Remember the police officer pictured at a demonstration in London in May whose beard and carefully groomed moustache plus jaunty chequered cap earned him the nickname “hipster cop” – though he subsequently said he was nothing of the sort?

Well, the internet isn’t going to let anything like that spoil a good meme, and one of the more memorable and enduring is the PC Hipsta comic strip, where his cartoon alter ego gives his sardonic take on a variety of everyday policing situations - many involving bicycles and their riders.

So here’s the best of PC Hipsta’s take on cycling – there’s plenty more comic strips on the PC Hipsta Tumblr feed, including his advice to photographers, motorists and demonstrators, among others, as well as his views on the latest technology (and the retro kind - no prizes for guessing which he prefers). Enjoy.
