Maes, however, says he is not being fooled — “At first, I thought, ‘Gosh, public transportation, what’s wrong with that, and what’s wrong with people parking their cars and riding their bikes? And what’s wrong with incentives for green cars?’ But if you do your homework and research, you realize ICLEI is part of a greater strategy to rein in American cities under a United Nations treaty,” adding "some would argue this document that mayors have signed is contradictory to our own Constitution." So... if people start riding these bikes Ban Ki-Moon will become the new president of Denver? This is just an attempt to sell an issue based on fear and emotional language.
It looks like ICLEI did have it's first conference at the United Nations building in New York in 1990.
