Folks, I sent an email to the mayor about cops on bikes but never got a message back from the mayor�s office or the police department. Well, I did get something back from the cops but it was pretty much of no use.
I was in Houston in May for a wedding and there were more cops on bikes down there during my four day stay than I have seen for the 3 years I have lived in Madison. This is rather odd since Houston is a sprawling wasteland and the heat index was 104 during that weekend. Madison is really bike friendly town but yet we don�t have many cops on bikes. With the budget cuts and the increasing waistline of many of the cops it would seem obvious to save costs and get the cops on bikes. I have seen a few cops on horseback but I�m pretty sure that it costs less to buy and maintain a bike than a horse. Does anyone have a history on this and why there are not many cops patrolling on bikes?
