Bicycle QLD suggested we do that over here for our State Parliament elections a few months ago. (COMPULSARY voting)
The even went a step further and Suggested that if you didn't know who to vote for, vote for the political party who offer to mind your bike while you voted.

I've done that. But the polling place is in a gymnasium where I can't walk on the pretty wood floor in my cleats. So I have to vote in my socks.
Oil is good, grease is better.

Great idea, but what about those of us who are "Permanent Absentees" (Califronian for Voting by mail?)

RE: Permanent Absentees
Bike your vote to the post office!
I always, or almost always, bike my vote - since the polling place is on my way to work on my bike

I love this idea. The only thing is, I was planning on voting early so that I could use a paper ballot. Oh well, I can still bike the vote! (I just hope they have a place to lock up my bike once I get there!)
