Well, Portland can't be "it" every year, and Minneapolis is always right up there in the lists. I was in Minneapolis last summer and I sure felt right at home!
Portlandia is stepping it up, though: Mayor Sam just found $20M "seed money" to start funding the Bike Plan. Of course, it will probably get him voted out of office, if not recalled, but I thought it was a bold move. Someone's gotta say that in hard economic times, encouraging cheap-to-free transportation makes sense.
