CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER BIKES VAN BRUNT & BRUSH CREEK TRAILS IN KANSAS CITY!!!
Yesterday Kansas City Congressman Cleaver participated in a bike ride to showcase the region’s commitment to pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets.
Cycling is often a controversial issue on this blog but this seemed like mostly a white hat event. We liked the photos so we wanted to share . . .
Also, click this link read the rest of the Congressman E.C. From D.C. letter.
BURNING CALORIES INSTEAD OF FOSSIL FUEL
Congressman Blumenauer joined us on a short bike ride along the Van Brunt and Brush Creek trails in Kansas City. The 3.2-mile Van Brunt trail was completed last year and is a part of a network of on-and off-road bicycle and pedestrian facilities spreading across the entire region.
The Kansas City region’s long-range transportation plan promotes lots of options – active options. They include facilities for bikers and walkers. It’s a great way to get the family out together to enjoy a beautiful day and a wonderful way to stay healthy.
Congressman Blumenauer and Congressman Cleaver get their ‘official’ biker shirts from KC Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, Deb Ridgway (middle)
Congressman Blumenauer is a national champion for bicycle and pedestrian issues, and chairs the Democratic Caucus’ Livable Communities Task Force. It was a wonderful chance to showcase our region’s commitment to reducing dependence on oil and increasing good health.

A better title for you TKC:
balancing a bike is easier than balancing the budget.
I wonder if Cleaver will open a bike wash.
how phony to see cleaver in a suit trying to ride a bike
he can't ride a bike any better than paying his debts
Jesus, what a clown show this town is.
Dumb NIGGER. Coat and tie to an exercise shoot...
What a waste of time. I went to this to see if their were any young, wet bitches. No...just middle age, fat housewives. Most were not worth letting them suck my dick. Someone should of told orginizers that if your going to be fat at least fave a pretty face.
I like how the other politician is riding a girl's bike. lol.
Missionaries wear suits while bicycling.
So do businessman in real cities that have more protection for bicyclists.
Looks like Erkel.
What kind of tools wear suits while riding a bike? How out of touch can you be? How tone-deaf can you be? Just without a clue. The epitome of people who think they are entitled.
In case a serious discussion is still possible on TKC . . .
I don't mind at all cities spending on bike/hike trails in the interest of public health. But I think we are fooling ourselves if we think the sport/hobby of cycling is going to have any significant effect on our "dependance on oil," foreign or domestic.
Some editorial writer at the Star also imagines thousands upon thousands of people biking to work and all over town if only the city would spend untold millions on special lanes and paths to make streets bicycle-friendly.
Why?
1. Bicycling is a strenuous activity. You should to build yourself into pretty good shape before you attempt a ride of any distance, and even then, there are people who can never get themselves in that kind of shape.
2. It can only be done when the weather cooperates. In KC, it tends to rain and snow. It also gets brutally hot and brutally cold (try showing up at the office in a suit after you've biked in 10 miles on an 80-degree morning). And it also gets too windy for safe biking.
3. While it would be a good idea to jump on a bike instead of a car to run to the grocery store for a gallon of milk, try loading a week's worth of groceries on a bike.
That's absolutely THE FUNNIEST thing I've ever seen. Cheesedick do-nothing congressman in a suit wearing a bike helmet photo op......
Fuck him and the bike he rode in on.
Hahahahahahaha!!!! whatta dumb ass nigger boy...wearing a suit to bike ride....only thing that would be funnier is if he was wearing a BOW tie!!! No Sly biking or wearing a bow tie....would be mistaken fo Magilla Gorilla ridin Flush Creek!!!!
Previous comments are on-target!
100% IDIOTIC politicians doing a bike trail photo-op in suits & ties! And never to be seen on this bike trail ever again!
Politician's creed: "use it to your advantage and then throw it away."
Bonus points for 11:03...."a bike wash"....hilarious!
Damn photo kissing the medias ass was all this was. Stupid mutherfucker who voted this ass clown into office. You limpdick people in Missouri should be ashamed the whole world will see these pictures.
The sad truth is that if he was alone instead of with a possee of clowns he would get mugged or shot showing how "friendly" the area is.
hate to say it. That is correct.
It gets worse for Cleaver. He's been reduced to kissing babies and riding bikes. Next he'll be on a float in a parade.
Well it is good to see KC is capitalizing on its assetts. We have now experienced the first annual shit sniffing bicycle tour
Government issued bicycles - what a hoot!
Government issued bicycles - what a hoot!
I'll bet that KC Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator hasn't been on a bike or walked a trail EVER.
