Meanwhile in Mexico City ... Leadership


City Workers required to bike to work once a month. Our mayor does that once a year, but just for show.

Did the mayor actually ride to the start or did someone drive his bike to the start? A few years ago I volunteered and had to make sure the bicycle was unloaded from the van in time to be ready for one of the politicians. I helped with Howard Hampton and some other MPP.

I read in a guide book that in mexico city you can't drive certain days of the week depending on what letter your licence plate begins with.

"I was originally going to put together a list of Mayors who regularly (and I was going to be lenient here - like one a month) bike to work. Unfortunately I couldn't find many."
Hmmm .. do we have the makings for a cross-continent intercity challenge here?
