Last week, we reported that a Republican candidate for the Colorado governorship had declared that Denver’s bike-sharing program was a threat to our personal freedoms. Since then, Tea Party-backed Dan Maes has faced some scrutiny in the press for his ambiguous statements: Along with threatening our freedoms, he claimed that bike-sharing was part of a deeper plot to turn the city into a “UN community”. When asked what he meant in a television interview, Maes had trouble explaining himself — and dug himself further into a hole by alleging that the bike-sharing program could be “incompatible with our state constitution”.
