The bikes are owned and primarily used by Pontiac FD. They are used for parades, special events (ie dream cruise, arts, beats, and eats, etc.....). They are also loaned out to other depts for special events (like the fireworks in rochester hills). I believe they are at a minimum equipped w/ a jump bag to provide immediate assistance until the rest of the units can get through the crowd. Pontiac FD also has several golf carts that are capable of transporting and carry full ALS equipment during these special events. I hope this helps everyone out
