MSNBC: North America's Most Bike Friendly Cities
MSNBC has a piece on North America’s ‘most bike friendly cities.’
Most of the cited cities appear to be League of American Bicyclists-recognized Bicycle Friendly Communities (BFCs), save, of course, the Canadian cities. The top-10 slideshow (at Forbes Traveler) does something I’ve wanted to see for ages: They rank Minneapolis ahead of Chicago.
Bicycling magazine constantly buys into Daley’s hype for Chicago, and gives Minneapolis ‘honorable mentions.’ Having ridden both cities, which are very different in terms of layout and infrastructure, I will take on Minneapolis roads and drivers any day of the week, no matter what Hizzoner of Chicago sez.
