Tags: Bikes Canvassing

This lovely August evening I went out with my list of Undecided voters to canvass. I was able to knock on twice as many doors in an hour than I did during the primary. My speed up secret ---- I rode my bike. It is so much faster than walking and so much easier to park and get in and out of than my car. With fantacies of being a "ward boss" I have been canvassing my voting district for the last five years, but this was only my second time by bike. Since I have a "girls bike", I put on a blue skirt, a white shirt and carried my literature in a big shinny red bag. I always wear red, white and blue for campaign work hoping it will encourage patriotic fever to vote. Mind you, I am 64 years old and my neighborhood has somewhat steep hills, which I have grown use to pedaling.
