This is pure conjecture, and so take it for what's it's worth, but Politico is talking about what a Obama cabinet might look like
Here is the list of names being widely discussed in Democratic circles, compiled with the help of ABC’s Jonathan Karl and Politico’s Ben Smith. Some of the names are more likely than others, but all are being seriously considered by Obama advisers. Some of the sources would be involved in decision making, and some were making educated deductions.
Secretary of Transportation: Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), Rep. Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.)
Those are probably the two biggest pro-bicycle guys in the U.S. government, so that would be fantastic.
That is the kind of change I am looking for. A national movement towards cycling backed by the white house. Fingers Crossed!!

Don't forget that Obama likes riding his bike on the street. When he took a day off during a hectic part of his primary campaign the first thing he did: went for bike ride around his neighborhood.

Screw the drapes, measure the Right of Way.
We did it. America did it.
