What about your governor?

From an article on the odder schemes to balance the Colorado budget:

"Bike to work. Gov. Ralph Carr (1939-43) bicycled to work, saving both
expenses and energy and getting some exercise. Carr used a tandem bike
with a state patrolman along for protection and extra pedal power on
the commute from his home at 747 Downing Street (recently designated a
Denver landmark) to the Capitol (where the new nearby State Judicial
Center is to be named for Carr)."

Looks like snow on the tires and the steps.

Neither rider seems to have a clue about the luggage rack.

He's also been on Bike Virginia and organized the Mayor's ride which
he was Mayor of Richmond and his son races!! Too bad the constitution
of Virginia only allows a Governor to serve one term!!

Certain people must think both men died horrible deaths just after the
photo was taken. That's based on their choice of hats and headlight.

Hah. My provincial premier (the equivalent of a state governor) is a
joke by comparison.

On November 11th I took my girls to the Vancouver Victory Square
cenotaph for the Remembrance Day ceremony. my girls were handing out
poppies and ceremony programs to passers by.

British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell pulled up right beside us, and
stopped the car (well, his driver did.) In a no-stopping zone. He got
out of the car, all smiles, and walked the remaining 50 feet to the
cenotaph. His driver remained in the car, idling for the next ten
minutes about five feet away from where my girls were standing (idling
is illegal in Vancouver.) I had to knock on the window and ask the
premier's driver to shut the engine off.

Here's premier Campbell's most famous photo:

At least he wasn't trying to profit from his office and sell Obama's
vacant senate seat.

Bicycle Jersey created with his "fatal" quote:

There are a few smaller size available (about $55 each) but not
through the listed bicycle shops. Champion systems is the
manufacturer so an order of 10 is needed for re-0rder, there are plans
to promote the jersey next spring.

He had his office remove the photo of him getting into the water,

overweight, but he did finish the triathlon respectfully.
