I chatted with this officer – I can’t recall his name. I had been surprised to see an AAPD officer on bike patrol, and was curious about whether there were now regular bike patrols downtown. He told me that it’s an option for officers to patrol by bike, depending on circumstances (how many other officers are on duty, etc.) and each officer’s preference. So he isn’t assigned to do it, but said he prefers to patrol on bike when he can. He also had a vehicle that was parked at the Maynard Street AAPD substation, to use if needed.
