As we reported yesterday, Bicycling magazine has bestowed the District with the title of “Most Improved Bicycling City.” (Take that, Minneapolis and San Jose!) Beyond the soon-to-come bike sharing program and the (hopefully) increasing amount of bike lanes, the magazine also mentioned the number of elected officials that are avid cyclists. And who are they? We list the most important.

Adrian Fenty: Fine, I might not run this city, but I sure as hell beat Mayor Adrian Fenty in a bike race. No, seriously. A few weekends ago Fenty — who runs, swims and cycles, sometimes all in one day in local triathlons — participated in the Carl Dolan Memorial Spring Classic, an annual road race in Columbia, MD sponsored by local cycling team DC Velo. He was in my race. And I beat him. Fine, he probably didn’t get much sleep the night before, what with the schools, crime, voting rights, meters in cabs, laundry, his kids wanting a drum set, and plenty of other things on his mind. But I showed him who was boss that morning. If you want to beat him and his fancy pants Cannondale, he’s also been known to ride MacArthur Boulevard and up the famous Angler’s Hill on weekends.
