The PK7 goes on patrol
NOT BAD FOR A $20 BIKE: This 2007 PK7 by Dynacraft is the newest addition to the "patrol fleet" at the college where I work as the supervisor of campus security. I now have a little more than $20 in it, but not that much more. And it was worth every penny spent. After having put well over 1,100 miles on my personal bikes last year at work, it has been pretty well proven that using a bicycle to patrol a small college campus works out just fine. But it works better if more than one officer can take advantage of it. That's where my $20 PK7 ( see it as-purchased here ) comes in. One of our other officers said if I brought in a bike, he'd use it. So this one came to work last week, and so far, so good. I don't yet have proper lights or a cyclocomputer on it, but those will be forthcoming. The first order of business was to get it rideable. That took a little doing: The front derailleur was shot. Wouldn't work at all. And couldn't be made to work
