    Why do the most bike-friendly cities have to be so darn wet and cold??

    Hmmm... good for Minneapolis, but it's only warm there for about one week a year. I kid, I kid.
    Seriously- that's very cool. I just wish there was a warm bike friendly city. C'mon Arizona or Florida- let's kick it up a notch.

    Three of the bottom ranked cities were "nice, balmy places" - Memphis, Jacksonville and somewhere in Alabama.

    Like a lot of other things in Bicycling, that's strictly the staff's collective opinion... their ranking doesn't have much of anything to do with the LAB's Bicycle-Friendly America program, which has a lot more standards and performance measures.

    Bicycling got most of their numbers from the Alliance for Biking & Walking's new 2010 Benchmarking Report, which looks at several other things.
