Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes said at a campaign rally last week that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's effort to boost bike riding "could threaten our personal freedoms." Maes added, "At first, I thought, 'Gosh, public transportation, what's wrong with that, and what's wrong with people parking their cars and riding their bikes? And what's wrong with incentives for green cars?' But if you do your homework and research, you realize ICLEI is part of a greater strategy to rein in American cities under a United Nations treaty."
