amusing bike campaign video



"In all the ads, Christensen rides a bike and leads a crowd of other bikers, including an odd pairing: Democrat Anderson and Republican former U.S. Sen. Jake Garn, both of whom support Christensen's mayoral bid, riding together on a tandem bicycle. Anderson sits in front."

Somehow, the spandex billboard and this video make me like Christensen even less. (Not that it matters much anymore as he is out of the running.) He acts like he leads the city in his bicycling efforts, and yet admitted that he doesn't commute on a bicycle to work and uses it mostly for recreation.

While the vision of the happy elves all joyfully riding their bicycle on quiet roads and over bridges is lovely, the story I ride in is a bit more realistic and deals with cars, cars, cars and more cars.
