    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!)

    Our polling place is right where we bike past almost every day anyway, so we will most certainly be biking to vote, unless it is pouring rain that day or icey snow. If the weather is awful that day, we'll just walk down into town to vote and back. We rarely use a car to go to town anymore (1 1/2 miles round trip)- only if bad rain or when we have lots of stuff to buy or big boxes to mail, etc. This time last year we almost always would drive into town. Now that's progress!

    I was in the democratic caucus in the 2004 election. I was the only person who rode a bike to that meeting.
    there were HUNDREDS there and it was a lovely day too.

    I put my ballot in the outgoing mail, so my bike didn't have anything to do with it.

    for six tanks of gas you could have bought a bike.
