Northern California - If you could ride with one Politician?

xxx

Chris Daly so I could stick my pump in his spokes.

Richard Luger.. good man when it comes to anything dealing with the treatment of members of the armed services.

Dubya because he's a fun guy.

Bill Clinton because I like to eat donuts after a ride.

That $chmuck.

uuuhhh I don't know how to say this...

but...umm...I hate everything she stands for and would never in 1 billion zillion years vote for her...

I would love to ride the Republican VP nominee...oops! I mean...do a ride on her ...I mean have her ride me....I'm soorry it's early...I mean ride a bike with her....Phewww there!!!

:eek: Uncle Pete! :eek:

After listening to the RNC last night (gotta keep an open mind) I'd stick a pump in Fred Thompson's spokes too. I would just shoulder check Joe Leiberman, into a ditch.

I would love to ride Tandem with George bush and Banana Fart him to death!

Wow, this got political quick. I'm going to stay out of it.

Now, anyone want to buy a pair of slightly used Sidi's?

Anywhere with Ted Kennedy (with the exception of Dike Road :eek: ).

I would love to ride Tandem with George bush and Banana Fart him to death!

That would give him the opportunity to declare: "Wow, we are making good progress, the air is very clean here!"

none.........all they want is my vote and I'm not that easy.

Arnold.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind doing an MTB ride with GWB. I've read that he's pretty fast.
Other than Kerry, are any other politicians serious cyclists?

I'd ride with any of them - same as I'd ride with any of you.

Robin Williams? Aren't politicians and comedians alike?

This is so PC, you win the Politician of the Year Award.

He played one...and they all play one...so yeah close enough!

No...I think Bossman means we're Sh**** politicians :roflmao2:

Kerry because he rides and who talks during a ride? Now, if he doesn't take his pull there might yelling!

No...I think Bossman means we're Sh**** politicians :roflmao2:

What I mean is that I don't consider one's politics for something as apolitical as a bike ride. I get enough politics everywhere else in life, and welcome relief from it in lists such as this one.

Why would I care about what your politics are, if we're just going to roll out on some roads for a while? I don't have political litmus tests for folks in general, but I do prize character and integrity regardless of whether it is "red" or "blue".

Congressman Earl Blumenaur (D - OR) owns seven bikes and commutes in the rain (http://spokesandbeans.wordpress.com/2007/12/30/congressmen-commuting-to-work-in-dc/).

And of course it's safe to say that Patrick McHenry (R - NC) isn't (http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/08/09/congressman-ridicules-bikes-as-19th-century-solution/) a serious cyclist.

Adlai E. Stevenson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, or Abraham Lincoln.. Guess, we'd not have that option with FDR. Among the living. Lance Armstrong.. Sooner or later he will be in the Congress. ^... Blumenaur. Definitely. But, prefer he'd come out and we'd all do Blue Ridge Parkway.. I'm more a rural rider.

Madiba, or maybe JFK.

+1. Excellent post.

Al Sharpton. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi286oPSWGs

Personally, I don't like him, but I think it would be fun to ride with him, especially with his security guards running alongside.

I'd say McCain, I would just ride and ride and ride until he died...it couldn't be that far before the man just slips away.

Clarification due to misinterpretation...I feel flaming coming in my direction...I'm over political BS. It was about the bike...My choice of who to ride with was purely for who I thought might be as enthusiastic about biking as me...Then I went for a joke (the usual), that didn't work : ( ...so, went for another joke oops!...even worse!... then all of a sudden I'm an A**hole ( puts brakes on and gets out of car walks up to angry mans window and says... "So I'm in a bar with a Horse, a Priest and a Stripper")...You got the rest, My apologies.
I think now this is where I go ride my bike and pretend to not have started this thread : )

I also read that Kim Jong The Dear Leader and overall crackpot shot 11 holes in one during his last golf outing. I'd be hella fast on my mtb if the secret service were pushing, pulling, and holding me upright.

Clint Eastwood....what....He was a Mayor once....

Earl from Oregon:

Or if it's fantasyland, then JFK so I could meet Marilyn at the end of the ride.

Dennis Kucinich, a guy I admire. Plus, he might bring his wife, Elizabeth.

Don't worry Pete. I got the jokes. :) But you didn't specify which Annie. Both look like they might be right up your alley.

Major McCheese. That way, I could take a big ol'e bite out of the back of his head whenever I got hungry.

Or - how about the Mayor of Hooterville (http://cyclesd.blogspot.com/2007/10/hooterville-mayor-rides-wtih-fab-part-2.html)? Nyuck, Nyuck.....

John Kerry and Pete. I just want to see who can descend faster on a technical descent.
Jonathan Vaughters' ride with JK (http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2008/08/29/my-un-conventional-ride)
Pete, I know I can hang onto your wheels going down Mt Ham but when you said "I'm going" and overtake a SUV, a motorcycle and a car in one pass, man, I held back. Now I want to see you go head to head with JK with shaved legs and all :)

Going down Tam once, Pete, Ramon (I think) and I (with Ruth on the tandem) got stuck behind a RIDICULOUSLY slow car. I mean it was dangerously slow. There were no straights, and constant traffic on the other side. So, Pete passed the car on the inside of a right hand curve!! He was practically in the dirt.

Momentary lapse in judgement...Politics/Religion will flatten your tires faster than glass.:crash::bang:
Back to being class clown....:(

So, Pete passed the car on the inside of a right hand curve!! He was practically in the dirt.Bravery and skill, or a few (several?) screws loose? The world may never know, but it's sure fun to watch!

No Screws...only bubble gum and scotch tape!:rolleyes:

Ah, I should have known. The screws fell completely out a long time ago. Lucky! Mine keep rattling around.

JK could probably drop most of the people in this forum.

FDR :lol:
