Cyclist to run for St. Louis alderman position

Steve Patterson, cyclist and author of the Urban Review-St. Louis blog, made this announcement today:
I have it on very good authority that a candidate has filed today, the last day, for the 25th Ward Aldermanic seat against incumbent Dorothy Kirner. And how do I know this?

The candidate is me. Yes, I have decided to run for the St. Louis Board of Alderman.
MoBikeFed's own treasurer, Paul Wojciechowski, successfully ran for the city council in Wildwood. John Robinson, director of the Missouri Division of Tourism, is a cyclist.

Are there any other cyclists sitting on city councils or holding public office in Missouri? I would love to hear about them . . . email president@mobikefed.org.
