Best Cities for Biking

[pyxichick]

This is what our bike trails look like in the city of Minneapolis. I can go out my door and ride a block to this trail and then go for a two hour ride and never have to worry about traffic the whole way.

I don't know why we didn't make the cut, but all I have to say is wow, those cities on the list must have some really fabulous cycling!

Philly made the list, eh? Woo-Hoo!! Interesting...as I cringe every time I see a courier on the roads in the city. I'm sure it's ranked because of the areas around the city...great for riding.

To add my own opinion to the list...I would have to say Fort Collins, CO. What a great city and so bike friendly it's amazing. Literally a bike rack on every corner and 15 in between!! Everyone rides their bikes around town, and you always see pacelines heading out of town toward the mountains. My sister lives there, and I would love to spend a month out there training!

Looking at that picture---wow. I must visit my friend in Minneapolis. Nice trail.

When I last visited Minneapolis, I was sorry I didn't have my road bike. Great area for cycling and running as well!

San Francisco? Well, depends on where you ride. My experience has been riding from the ferry bldg to GG bridge. Not fun as we had to go through heavy traffic. I'm not sure what they mean, except for Presidio, GG Park, and the beach area.
