Triathlon and other community events. As stated in the article, the response times are terrific and it’s a great opportunity to interact with the community.

I’m with Joel — it’s nice to head positive news about Charm City. I wish the local media in Baltimore would report on the bike-efforts of the city lately: the new bike lanes, traffic signs for bikes with directions, raise bike route markers to reinforce the sentiment that we have the right in MD to be on the road. It’s getting easier to bike here every day. It’s not Portland, but it’s a start;)

Frederick, MD has stepped up its police bicycle patrol presence over the past few years, which is far preferable, in my view, to a neighboring town’s recent proposal to put some of their patrol units on Segways.

The Frederick bike cops could use a lesson or two about good riding etiquette, considering that they’re almost always riding up the sidewalks in Frederick’s historic district. Not surprisingly, the city lets them off the hook for this, presumably so they can focus on their primary objective of targeting other people (kids) who ride bikes and skateboards on the sidewalks.

At least they don’t run red lights with sirens blaring to grab coffee and donuts.

…i literally owe my life to the para-meds, so anything that helps them out & makes them feel better about their response time is awesome by my standards…

I’ve seen them in several cities in Colorado, especially at large events.

Ah, for once we get press for something good. I have been sitting in on the Fire/PD/Health Dept group that is funding part of the bike project and when I first heard it brought up (there was a request for funding for the trailers for the bikes) I couldn’t let myself hope that they were actually talking bicycles, and here we are.

Back when I was an EMT in rural Virginia, late 90s, we had police and EMS bike units at all the big events. To this day I use the LA Rescue U.S.A.R. Mate EMS bag- http://www.larescue.com/USARWaterRescue.html

as my daily bike (shoulder) bag.
