The latest mayor of Seattle, Mike McGinn, was basically canonized before the election because he is an alleged bike rider. Dude is fatter than me! Nothing wrong with big people riding, I am a big people, but he sure doesn't look like a serious cyclist.

Unfortunately, he was also the least qualified person running. But it felt good to the majority to elect someone with green cred, so we're stuck with him for while.

He has also proven himself to be one of those obstructionist types I mentioned in the urban planning thread that you started-wants a dense downtown and to !@#$ with any other transportation needs.
