NEW YORK, New York (CNN) -- The New York Police Department has released photos of a bicycle and a suspect in Thursday's Times Square recruitment center bombing.

Police released this surveillance image of a bicyclist believed linked to the Times Square bombing.

The photo of the suspect, extracted from surveillance footage and released on Friday, shows someone riding a bicycle away from the scene shortly after the explosion. The second photo shows a metallic blue bicycle that was found abandoned in trash nearby.

Authorities are offering a $12,000 reward for information in that leads to an arrest in the case.

The explosion, which caused no injuries, went off about 3:45 a.m. Thursday at an Armed Forces Recruitment center in Times Square.

Authorities were re-examining an incident that happened last month at the U.S.-Canadian border, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told CNN Friday. Watch new evidence in Times Square bombing case »

A car with three people was halted as it crossed from New York into Canada, a senior U.S. government official told CNN, and the car was searched as a matter of routine, the official said.

Anarchist-type material was found, the official said, and in a backpack, agents found pictures of New York, including ones of Times Square, at least one of which showed the recruiting station.

Letters after Times Square bombing claim: 'We did it' The people told authorities that they had been visiting New York City for a week. At some point, two of the three -- both men -- ran off.

The Canadians then forwarded the information to the New York police liaison officer in Canada, who alerted police. However, it was eventually determined by the Canadians and NYPD that the incident posed no threat.

The Obama chant is, "Yes, yes we can."

The letter answered with, "We did it!"

You're probably onto something.

Ran off. Ran OFF?? With NO “authorities” running OFF after them?

Lousy image of Times Square for the zillions of dollars spent on cameras.

From the article;

Meanwhile, a person who was questioned in Los Angeles about letters that members of Congress received after the explosion in Times Square were "not involved" in the bombing, the law enforcement source told CNN.

"It's an ugly coincidence," the source said, referring to the timing of the bombing and the appearance of the letters. "He is not the bomber."

On Thursday afternoon, just a few hours after the blast, authorities in Washington said several members of Congress had received letters that raised concern.

The letters contained photos of a man standing in front of the recruiting center along with the statement "We did it," according to an e-mail from a senator's office.

Fewer than 10 letters were received by members of Congress, a law-enforcement source said. All the letters were received by Democrats,another law enforcement source said.

One report claimed to have traced the bicycle to a now closed shop. Police were searching for the people who ran it. It stikes me there should be fingerprints/dna evidence on the bike. I doubt someone would have been able to buy the bike and handle it only with gloves.

That reminds me of an answer to a joke:

Ya can't put a "bike" inside a bowling ball, but ya can put a bowling ball inside a "bike".
