Reykjavik's Mayor Jon Gnarr Speaks on Bicycling in the City



Reykjavik's Mayor, Jon Gnarr, is a bicycle enthousiast. Wasn't always, but in this video (in Icelandic) he speaks about his recent love of cycling. Getting to a meeting in the city is way faster than riding in a car. Getting wet and sweaty is no problem - it doesn't happen very often, but when it does, then it is a novelty and the rest of the members at the meeting make comments like: "I should start cycling".

What I noticed is that he's got an electric bike. There's a sticker with the coat of arms for the city of Reykjavik on the powerpack. Gnarr is dressed in a suit with a stylish black helmet, and the clip was shot on the north-west side of the City Hall (Ráðhús Reykjavíkur).
