City of Toronto mayor has been cycling often. He will be finishing his tenure later this year. There were photo ops of him at the past Copenhagen Climate Change summit..with a bike.
One of the Canadian national opposition leaders, Jack Layton (NDP party) had been cycle commuting for a number years. His wife, also a politician (provincial) was a regular cyclist. Not sure about now. Ages ago, when Layton was a Toronto municipal councillor he chaired a committee on cycling matters. I know, because my dearie was part of that committee.
I understand mayor of Washington, DC cycles often.
But it is great too that senior bureaucrats in municipality cycle regularily, especially if they are responsible for transportation, engineering, planning, etc.
