no way a car can escape from a bike inside a town. I don't believe a

bike.
I don't know whether you've ever tried to chase a car on a
motorcycle, but cars are stable and don't fall over on nasty
surfaces, and are not affected by being bumped a little bit. It's
very difficult indeed for a motorcycle to catch a car on city streets
at high speed, and usually ends up nastily for the motorcycle.
