Madison County Transit has donated mountain bike-style police bicycles to the South Roxana and Troy Police Departments.
MCT hopes police bike patrols will create a police presence on the Madison County trail system, but they also believe officers on bikes come off as more approachable to the communities they serve.
MCT Director SJ Morrison tells the Big Z these are heavy duty bikes that are manufactured by the iForce company out of Pennsylvania.

MCT also says police officers in uniform can ride MCT busses for free and utilize the bike racks while on duty to travel about the county. MCT has been donating police bikes to departments throughout the county since 2015.
