North Bay Police won't follow Sudbury's lead with fat bikes

'The fat bikes are certainly an interesting idea, but they are not something that we are formally looking at adopting at this time'

NORTH BAY — The Greater Sudbury Police Service has recently expanded its bicycle patrol program in downtown Sudbury to include winter bicycle patrols using of fat bikes.

"So the reason for the fat bikes is our bike program has been highly successful with the downtown and specifically the businesses. It gives them a more personable approach because the officers are not driving by you in a cruiser," Hall said. North Bay has used a successful bicycle patrol program as well, but according to the North Bay Police Service, its officers will not be hopping on fat bikes anytime soon.

The bicycle patrols have returned under the watch of Chief Scott Tod, who re-implemented the program in the summer of 2020.
