Riding in a city is a big commitment given the time it takes and the risks, not to mention the physical energy involved. Seattle is a city moving to a new future where various eco-friendly forms of transportation (not yet imagined) will populate roads. See Wall Street Journal article, Sept. 24th 2009 "Invasion of the Golf Carts" for a preview. Mike gets this. Way to go Mike.

If I get an electric assist bike am I green than you? If McGinn rides his electric assist bike everywhere how is going to get to olympia to fight for us?

I think one of the biggest problems in this city, not to mention this country, is that politicians generally treat environmental issues as an afterthought. Michael truly understands the environmental issues that will (and do) present enormous challenges for our future and underscore all other areas of our lives. I'm confident that he will work hard to ensure that every citizen in this city has the opportunity (geographically and financially) to live a healthier and more sustainable life. That being said, he puts community above everything and will certainly not force anything down people's throats, but rather work cooperatively so that neighborhoods can successfully come to creative solutions for a stronger and healthier world. I know this kind of sounds like political campaign propaganda but I'm being very honest. Over the past year or so Michael has really taught me a lot about how to inspire successful change for the better. Go Michael!

If you go onto the Great City website (www.greatcity.org), you'll see that the guiding principle of that organization is to transcend traditional political ideologies to build coalitions that get things done (full disclosure: I'm co-chair of the board, so my bias is clear). It just happens that the mayor was on the wrong side of the issue on parks. @4 is exactly right.
