Right now, I have Georgia on my mind for a good reason: It might deliver the presidency to Joe Biden. Poll workers in the Peach State are still counting ballots, but some time in the wee hours of this morning, the lead shifted to Joe.
I still think about him riding rings around a Fox reporter a few weeks ago. Trump, on the other hand, keeps at least a few tire rotations from bicycles. Even if people hadn't seen Biden on Bike or Trump treading on cyclists, they might more readily associate bicycles and cyclists with Democrats than with Republicans. That makes sense if you look only at the two major parties. Me, I'd associate bikes with the Green or Working Families party first, but if I had to choose between the donkey or the elephant, I would remember that it's easier to ride--or just get things done--on the former rather than the latter.
(But, really, you shouldn't interpret what I've just said as an endorsement of any candidate, I swear--with my fingers crossed behind my back!)
Whichever American political party you associate with two wheels, two pedals and a set of handlebars, none can compare India's Samajwadi Party: Its symbol is a bicycle.
