The 5 U.S. cities most friendly to bikes
The 5 U.S. cities most friendly to bikes These are the top five most bicycle-friendly U.S. cities with populations of 100,000 or more, according to Bicycling magazine: 1. Minneapolis 2. Portland, Ore. 3. Boulder, Colo. 4. Seattle 5. Eugene, Colo. The magazine rated bicycling-friendly U.S. cities with these factors in mind: segregated bike lanes, municipal bike racks, bike boulevards, local government policies that support bicycling and savvy bike shops. Bike trails for beginners The bike trails in this region are diverse enough to satisfy the most hard-core adventurous bikers as well as more casual recreational pedalers. These are some of the bike trails Don Burrell, bicycle/pedestrian coordinator for the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments, suggests for beginning or casual bikers: ? Any segment of the Little Miami Trail running from Newtown to Loveland ? The 2-mile Five Mile Trail from Bartels Road near Turpin High School to near Beechmont Avenue in Anderson Township ? A 2-mile stretch of the Ohio River Trail from Schmidt Field in the East End to Lunken Airport ? The 5-mile bike trail loop at Lunken Airport ? Any part of the 8-mile Lebanon Connector that begins near the Lebanon railroad depot on South Street near Harmon Park. ? The 3-mile stretch of bike trail along the Miami-Erie Canal between Ohio 747 and the Ohio 4 Bypass in Fairfield. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2...sectionstories |

I've spent time in Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle and frankly the best bicycling cities I've seen are DC (where I've lived most of my life) and Scottsdale (where I live now). Also, I wonder why Davis, CA isn't on the list? I thought Davis was perennially on these types of lists? |
