This silver mountain bike is a Giant Terrago. It is one of four bikes used by Kensington and Chelsea Parks Police in London. The only emergency warning equipment fitted is a white light and an air horn. The bottle can be pressurised using a normal cycle tyre pump. The red plate then folds down and operates the very loud horn (see inset).

This is a City of London Police cycle, used in the ‘square mile’. It has a rack-top black bag with police logos, as well as ‘police’ writing on the specialist mountain bike frame. The rear has a small matrix of flashing lights, and the front has a similar arrangement but with a handy notepad on top!

This is Nottingham Police’s Meadows bike patrol team. These photos were taken when the unit was first set up in April 1999. The bikes are fitted with two large white lights to the front. Also notice the uniforms are a mix of cycle-specific and standard clothing: the helmets have miniature boom microphones fitted, but the footwear remains standard leather shoes.
