    After testing by a certain PC Quentin, the latest L&BPerson to be allowed to use a police bike is -

    He dropped by Sciennes Primary (aka https://twitter.com/SciennesPS) today and caught the tail end of the first day of P6's cycle training.

    He should be getting his photo in ENews too.

    I'm pleased to see the police are sourcing their bikes through local supplier EBC...

    The helmet thing: was that not a predecessor of the current chief?
