NACTO Presents: Bicycling in Minneapolis

The May edition of Bicycling Magazine named Minneapolis Americas best city for biking. The city still trails Portland, Oregon in the percentage of commuters who bike to work (4.3 percent to 5.9 percent, respectively, according to the most recent American Community Survey), but Minneapolis has been gaining momentum.
Next month, Minneapolis will launch the largest bike-share program in the country, building on a strong foundation of extensive bike trails and a thriving bicycling community.  They're also using federal funds to double the mileage of on-street bike lanes, build more road diets, introduce bicycle boulevards, and more. Have a look and see how Minneapolis has shot to the top of America's best bicycling cities.

You sure can tell these people did'nt do their research at least one biker or pedestrian are killed in the twin cities every month this last month 6 where run over 2 kiled and all the police do is make excuses for the drivers. The twin cities are the wild west for cars, police never pull over cars or trucks. In St Paul the police said it was alright that a bus driver ran over and killed a man because the sun was in his eyes.
