Bike the Vote?

Sadly, American voters don't appear to have a serious cyclist to vote for this year the way did in the last presidential election. (Bush — Trek Fuel; Kerry — Serrotta Custom.)

And the only public policy statements on behalf of the bicycle has been a rather lukewarm committment from Barack Obama. (Not exactly an inspiring pro-bike battle cry.)

But Mike Huckabee, a sort of castrated Jesse Ventura for genteel Republicans, has been known to ride his bike to the grocery store. Attaboy, Huck!

Huckabee also thinks evolution doesn't exist and is all for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and offshore in U.S. waters. And that he wants to amend the Constitution to be more in line with "God's Word." But yes, he does own a bike.

I read that Ron Paul is a bike commuter.
