Agree that LaHood did a good job for bikes overall, especially on the image and acceptability side. He talked the talk pretty well, but he also showed up iin person at bike trail openings and events and did other little things to show support — that little stuff means a lot to me.
If he nominates a bike fantasy pick it’s going to be Janette Sadik-Khan from NYC. I don’t see it happening though. I think Jim Oberstar or Tom Petri are more likely picks (with Petri filling the Republican quota).
