Bikes: One brand-less build-up, and a Connondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra Disc. A nicer bike than I need, but it was a good deal, so... ;-)

The Columbus PD tested those out by putting each of the bike patrol teams on them for a week's roatation. The officer I spoke to wasn't terribly enthusiastic. He said the speed was good, but the lack of suspension beat him up and tired him out more than riding a bile for the whole shift.

Interestingly enough, our MUPS are patrolled by (I think) Parks & Rec rangers, rather than the PD.
