Yes, that is Mayor Bill White wearing a stupid cycling jersey and suit pants.
In an effort to replace Houston's "
Fattest City" rank with the "Wussiest City" honors, Mayor Bill White will be bringing sweaty, spandex-clad Euro types
to a road near you:
On Saturday, March 19, 2005, the City of Houston is proud to present "Tour de Houston" Bike ride.
This BP MS 150 Recommended Ride allows riders to complete a 20 or 40 mile bike ride through historic neighborhoods of Houston. Mayor Bill White, State Senator Rodney Ellis, and Council Member Carol Alvarado will kick off the event starting at 7:30 a.m. for the 20 mile route and 7:45 a.m. for the 40 mile route.
The "Tour de Houston" will begin and end at Herman Square in front of City Hall, located downtown in the 900 block of Smith Street, with free parking for participants at Lots C and H of the Convention and Entertainment Facility parking.
Please, folks, I'm appealing for the safety of the participants of the Tour de Houston. Resist the temptation to clip one of these guys with your side view mirror. Don't get 'em with the door either. (Especially
this guy; he'll see you coming.)
And please,
please, don't honk your horn at the mayor, causing him to careen into other cyclists and forcing the cancellation of the Tour de Houston, thereby returning the streets to their rightful purpose of carrying motorized vehicular traffic. Don't do it.
Yes, that is Mayor Bill White adding to his collection of stupid cycling jerseys.
