I was going to say that I think around DC and Baltimore the cops ride cannondales but it looks like qmsdc15 beat me too it and provided evidence

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.

Nice bike! Dedication to the hybrid forum's preference for non-drive side bike portraiture, but your mom's gonna kill you if you get any chain grease on those drapes!
