Marcelo Ebrard, Mayor of Mexico City.

Since elected Mayor, Mr. Ebrard has made environmental protection and control of greenhouse gas emissions a clear priority. The Mexico City government began a program to construct a set of bicycle lanes to encourage non-motorized movement.  The Mayor’s office has instructed the top government officials to come to work riding a bicycle at least the first Monday of every month.
