No confirmation if the cyclist was riding their bike or not at the time sadly.

Might not be bike-related, but there was also a police car and ambulance parked on the inside of Drummond Place, opposite London Street, at 8.50 this morning.
Door to the ambulance was open towards the gardens and a guy came out it and adjusted a bike that was leaning against the railings there. From across the street the bike didn't look damaged and there was no sign of anything else being involved.

There was an overturned car outside my flat near Broughton St in the wee small hours of Monday morning - no other vehicles involved that I could see. Didn't see any media reports on it. Drivers appear to have gone Radio Rental this New Year...

Drivers appear to have gone Radio Rental this New Year
Indeed, on Monday night saw a police traffic response beamer barelling up London Road in hot pursuit of some miscreants (in a car type unknown), followed briefly by a stock polis transit van huffing and puffing away in a vain attempt to keep up. This was followed moments later by a flurry of messages on a local facebook group describing a car crashed into a wall in Waverley Park and abandoned, with a load of polices with dogs and torches checking under all the cars in the street. Judging by all the tyre tracks on the grass on the other side of the wall we saw yesterday, the police had also taken a trip into the park as part of the chase.
Too much excitement for a Monday night.

"as part of the chase"
Thought polices had agreed that such chases were unreasonably dangerous to all(?)

Of course I'm assuming that the tyre tracks in the park were the police, it could just have been Historic Scotland pulling donuts in the grass ;)
I think so long as a senior officer in control sanctions it, then they can undertake chases as they see fit; i.e. if the person being chased merits both the effort and level of risk. Helmetless teens on mopeds rarely do. Organised criminals on the run probably do.
