Once again, The Bike Shed has come to the rescue and donated a bike to the local police force. At just 5ft 4ins, Bethan Evans was keen to join Canton police station's elite squad of officers who patrol on two wheels. Her only problem was that the force hadn't got a bike to fit her! We donated a specially-built machine with 15-inch frame, which Bethan took delivery of during Bike Week in June.
