To be fair, the arrestee should have been required to pedal along with the driver.

And wasn't Dayton, Ohio some sort of bicycle building capital? The Wright Brothers were based there and they are always touted as "bicycle mechanics."

Things haven't changed much. Tumbrels loaded with victims heading off to the guillotine during the French Revolution so people can see whose heads will roll that day. The Dayton tricycle. Now, cops just arrange a perp walk instead, tipping off the media.
