This might be a first: a “suspicious bicycle” has caused a police shutdown of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House, tweeted the Metropolitan Police Department this afternoon. We’ll have more as the situation, ummmm, rolls along.

1/2 MPD reporting the 1500 to 1700 b/o Penn Ave, NW is closed in both directions due to a police investigation (Suspicious bicycle).
