That would be nice, unfortunately I don't think that's a prerequisite on most PD applications.

I don't know why they ride their horses on that path. They leave behind A LOT of stuff. For those of you who want to know what the west side MUP in NYC looks like (or how busy it is), check out a video I made last weekend. Fast forward to 2:30 to see the Brooklyn Bridge MUP & 2:35 to see the west side MUP.

Ideally, yes....but in reality, that may be asking too much.
Here are a few pics of the MS bike ride I did 2 weeks ago.
Opps, the pics didn't work, here are the links

And here's a short video of the officers moving along at a blazing speed of....I don't know.....maybe 6.5mph?
