Specific to the bike? Beats the hell out of me. Not sure they even have any in Cleveland...sure didn't back in the day. In NM a couple of my guys wanted to do a bike patrol (more to patrol our little downtown area, not due to any significant bicycle usage by the population) so we found and got a grant to buy the bikes, accessiories and clothing for them...but there was no actual formal training involved.
