Mike Pence traveled by motorcade on car-free Mackinac Island — one of the natural gems of the Midwest. Michiganders aren't happy about that.
But on September 21, eight cars descended upon Mackinac Island as part of Vice President Mike Pence's motorcade. Paul Egan of the Detroit Free Press was first to capture and share the historic moment:, and is regarded as one of the most precious natural resources in the state of Michigan. Just 450 people live on the small destination, and they get around by bike.
"Bikes are just our way of life," Mary McGuire Slevin, executive director of the Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau,."They are like a part of our bodies, we don't even think about it. When I see a tourist go out for a bike ride around the circumference of the island, you can just tell the difference when they come pedaling back into town — they are more relaxed and have a big smile on their face.
Several sympathetic Michiganders indicated they were fine with Pence's motorcade, arguing that it's a security issue. Republican State Rep. Beau LaFave said on Twitter,"We will not let our VP be in danger because snowflakes think he shouldn't ride in a car."
