The mayor of the municipality of Tondern/Tønder in Denmark wearing a tie with a bicycle motif.

Today I happened to meet the mayor of the southern Danish municipality of Tønder/Tondern with his cool tie. Jørgen Popp Petersen, who belongs to the German minority party, rides his bike to the town hall every day. Who says politicians in the countryside can't be role models? #ruraltransit #dkpol
