"I know I've been encouraging people to ride bikes more," McGinn posted to his Twitter account Wednesday night. "but I didn't mean u could 'borrow' my wife's bike w/o asking."

A police spokesman did not have any further details on the theft, Seattlepi said.

Meanwhile the hosts of the "Kent and Alan Show" on KPLZ-FM, Seattle, said they will provide a new bike for the mayor provided he agrees to donate it to a needy child if the stolen bike is recovered. The radio show has donated $250,000 worth of bikes to children in the past 20 years.
