How 'bout a hug? Our mayor deserves one (me on the left, her on the right):


I rode with her on Bike to Work Day. She also does a weekly Wednesday bike ride through a section of the city (covering many parts of the city).

Then there's our city planner in charge of bicycling infrastructure. She wasn't much of a cyclist when she took the job, but it's not uncommon to see her riding with various groups nowadays.
