When our bike patrol started, the Chief went with the recommendation of our trainer and purchased ten Cannondale bikes, no suspension but a lite and nimble bike. They lasted about a year and most are in a pile somewhere in strorage. Our team leads worked a deal with our LBS and we got the Giant Yukon which are still being ridden today. I liked the bike so much I purchased my own. Coulda done with a different color but they wanted all of the bikes "uniform". I do not have the modular light system mounted because I worked day shift. I'll post a pic when I figure out this system.
