Then-Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry didn’t pedal his way to the White House, but when this July 14, 2004 photo was taken, he was enjoying a ride on the Esplanade. Of course one couldn’t imagine the future jet-setting climate czar to make do with a Schwinn Wayfarer. His wheels of choice: the $8,000 (in 2004 dollars) Serotta. Depending on the outcome of Thursday’s grilling of Kerry’s budget by the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability, Kerry may need to save some cash by two-wheeled commuting.
