Love your posts, Charlotte. Inspiring.

As I search for a new job, each position gets a "does the job sound interesting?" as well as "is it bikeable?" screening. In the process I'm discovering that Milwaukee Couty has a pretty good bicycling infrastructure. If the bike commute will take me towards the city (I live just outside Milwaukee County), I can find several viable bike routes for each posting. Almost always, one route will be significantly greenway or MUP.

On the other hand, if I travel west, out and away from Milwaukee County and into the neighboring county, commutes often have one or two "scarey options" for several miles -- roads that are busy, cars speeding and you must take the lane with some having the double whammy of busy, speeding cars and plus a freeway on/off ramp.

The difference between the two counties is amazing--one is progressive and recognizes the need for urban infrastructure; the second is just awakening and has a long way to go. I dream of the day this is universal.

I saw another great video, albiet a bit older I hadn't seen it. From Malmo on its "Ridiculous Use of a Car" campaign.....http://www.grist.org/article/2010-09...-trips-for-bi/
