Subject information:	This "officer of the law" was spotted at the Black Country Living Museum with his bicycle ready to spring into action. Australian viewers may feel that I have managed to get a double entry here, with both the means of transportation AND hid vehicle, but the period is wrong - by the time this uniform was current, the sheep had all disappeared from this neighbourhood.

Over here nowadays this is still one of the modern day police vehicles. :)

Excellent - just look at all these things you just don't get on bikes nowadays....old type steel rims, "stirrup" brakes and (if you look closely at the front hub)those little leather straps (my Dad used to call them danglers!) that keep the hub clean as you ride. I like the all black "stealth" finish - non of that flashy chrome, not even the bell!

Well spotted and composed. He really looks grumpy!

Good portrait and the bicycle helps the story. ...Wayne
