Where I have seen them in Madison, it's mostly been on/around State
Street (or for some special events on the Square).
Oddly enough, I had an experience this weekend similar to Steve's. I
was in Saint-Louis for a couple of different events that happened to
coincide over the weekend, and I saw lots of them on the WU campus (WU
police, not S-L police). When I was a student, almost all of the
campus police were in compact cars; I don't think there were any police
on bikes. Now the police cars are bigger (but not the usual full size
police car either), but a large number of bicycles are part of the
police vehicle fleet.
Bicycles make a lot of sense for this use because they are more
flexible in where they can go (don't require a road).
Now go have a beer,
