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 bags on the back of the bike fold out to become panniers to fit an A4 folder in. The uniform worn in the photo includes police cycle helmet, protective glasses with 3 lenses (dark, orange, clear), hi-vis jacket, gloves and black Regatta trousers.

Here is another of the constabulary’s cycles. It is fitted here with a trial pannier bag, which is the same as ambulance cycles use. It has been used to carry police documents and limited medical equipment. However, the weight on the rear of the bike was too much to cope with on hilly and off-road terrain.
