Love this shot. Great timing qmsdc15, every cop in this photo seems to be occupied with something - it almost seems like they're posing for you .

Note the many plastic handcuffs on one handlebar. These guys were prepared for something. Waiting at a Starbucks a few blocks from Capitol Hill. They don't gather like this unless they think something might be going down.

Are they zipties? Maybe the Cannondales have a few maintenance problems and he is the chief mechanic. Zipties + 1000 mile-an-hour tape = repair anything.

The bikes are OK ... but absolutely no one has stated the obvious ... and no, it's not donut shops per se.

Okay, I can't stand it any more. What's the obvious that we are all missing?

I saw our local police bike (tiny town in Illinois) in a 4th of July parade and it looked like a Trek, too. I've never seen it in the wild though.
