At a July 26 rally in Centennial, Republican candidate and Tea Party favorite for governor Dan Maes warned the crowd that his Democratic opponent, John Hickenlooper, had enlisted Denver in a program that would lead to UN control. “This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed,” said Maes. “This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms,” he added. The program in question? Denver’s bike-sharing program, B-Cycle.
