Topeka Police Bicycle Training Class

On my walk today through Gage Park what originally caught my eye was about a dozen of Topeka’s finest on their bicycles in the middle of the sand volleyball pit! I was completely intrigued (nosey) about what was going on. We’ll I missed that scene but I did capture some other great footage of the Topeka Police Bicycle Patrol training class today.

They were very nice to let me stand there and watch them train and even to take some video of it all. I tried riding my bike once as a kid up some stairs but it wasn’t met with much success and more than likely ended with a bruised up knee! Criminals need to know that these guys are very quiet and they are able to give chase either up or down stairs, over curbs and through sand!

Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys for a short time today!!

Bradley’s Corner Cafe North Topeka Kansas

Bradley’s Corner Cafe located at Laurent & North Kansas Ave. is Topeka’s little secret. Known for it’s “comfort food” and fresh made daily pies it has been in the old Kaw Valley State Bank Building for about the last 6 years. Brad is the owner and his son Ryan is the manager. It doesn’t take very long for the staff to get to know who you are and what you like to eat. This place offers a bit of a bygone era in the middle of downtown North Topeka.

A Little Bit of Spring

We’ve had a little bit more snow and a little more is maybe on the way so I decided to post a couple of images taken last week when it was closer to 80 degrees. These images were taken during my frequent walk through Gage Park. Spring is just around the corner!
