continued from previous page ery ordinance we could think of. We put in bike lanes. We didn’t close the street because we wanted to show what it would be like realistically in the long-term.

That event got a lot of attention in the media, including a mention in the Washington Post, and it’s been copied all over the country.

What was kind of amazing about that project is that so many people came out, and city staff was almost relieved because they want these things, too, but they just need a champion. And all the old ordinances were immediately questioned.

I have some silly questions for you. Here’s the first one: Where do you buy your hats?

All over. Anywhere I can find them. Epiphany, Target, House of Macgregor. When you’re a bald guy, you need all the help you can get.

I’m a huge Woody Allen fan. I love old music from the ’20s and ’30s. I love vaudeville. And I’m a Francophile. Andrea and I were married in Paris. We were poor, but we figured out a way to get over there. That’s why I did Bastille Day, because it wasn’t feasible to take a family vacation to France, so I wanted to find a way to bring Paris here. That was just something I did for Andrea, and it’s amazing how popular it’s been. It just shows you that there’s pent up demand for that kind of thing.

Superman or Batman?

Superman. Flying would be a lot of fun, although I guess that would take away from my bicycling.

You were a co-founder of BFOC. Have you ever thought about unicycle friendly oak cliff?

That’s funny you mention it because Jeremy [Ordaz of Oak Cliff Bicycle Co.] just bought a unicycle that he has in the shop there. We’ve joked about moped oak cliff.
