<p>BERLIN (AP) &#8212; Four wheels bad, two wheels good.</p><p>That&#8217;s what German police must have thought when their car got stuck on a narrow path while pursuing a moped-riding suspect. Rather than give up, one of the officers jumped on a child&#8217;s bike and successfully chased down and arrested the 27-year-old suspect.</p><p>Police say the suspect, who had evaded a traffic stop Tuesday in the southern German town of Bamberg, was found to be carrying drugs and driving under the influence.</p><p>Police spokeswoman Silke Gahn said Wednesday the officer, after the arrest, gratefully returned the 22-inch bike he had borrowed.</p><style>
