Bicycles Stop the Danish Changing of the Guard

The only thing the queens guard of the United Kingdom can’t knock over is I think a few members of the royal family , the guards have an extension of power from the queen which is why if they felt threatened or the queen could be in danger they truly could kill or injure someone without any reprocusions since no one is gonna tell the queen off for killing someone who wants to injure her.

The Danish guardsman handled the situation perfectly. It's hilarious to read comments suggesting that the guardsmen should just have "walked over" the bicycles or kicked/removed them. If it was just people standing in their way, the guardsmen could have played it tough, but walking deliberately into some bicycles? Nah, that would have been an incredibly stupid thing to do, when there was a better and easier alternative. Also, by not removing or kicking the bicycles, you show that you're above such things. Again, perfectly handled.
