SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle’s cycling mayor is trying to find a very important bike — his wife’s.
Mayor Mike McGinn says someone swiped the bicycle Wednesday after he rode it to work. Seattlepi.com says McGinn sent a message on Twitter late Wednesday that the bike belonging to his wife, Peggy, had been stolen.
He says in a tweet: “I know I’ve been encouraging people to ride bikes more, but I didn’t mean u could ‘borrow’ my wife’s bike w/o asking.”
McGinn, a former Sierra Club leader, frequently commutes by bike from his north Seattle home and often cycles to events and meetings. He’s also a strong advocate of making Seattle more bike-friendly.
