Hey, we know cops on bikes ;).
Nothing new, eh? This is for accompanying the torch relay across Canada.

Quote:
For a variety of reasons, this has been the trip of a lifetime for the 43-year-old police officer. He is an avid athlete who enjoys running and cycling, so “this has been a really good fit for me.”
It has been a joy to police the journey because it has been so well organized. The schedule runs almost to the minute with military precision. “It's a really well-run machine.”
As a commander on the torch relay, “I am supervising a crew of motivated people.”
It's been a brand new experience for him in the sense that a police officer isn't always the person you want to see. “Almost a hundred per cent of the people here are extremely happy to see us. In 20 years as a police officer, I have never had that.”
That is also the case with first nations, who “don't historically welcome the RCMP. We have been welcomed by them.”
Parks said he has been personally touched by the way the torch relay has inspired Canadians and brought them together
Yay, for dedicated cop cyclists on the job!
