Scenes of the season show the Minneapolis commitment to bike

Posted by Tom Held of the Journal Sentinel on March 22, 2011

Those who were surprised when Bicycling Magazine named Minneapolis the nation's top biking city ought to check out this video - a slideshow of winter biking in the cold and snow.

Similar scenes could have been captured in Madison and Milwaukee, which ranked 7th and 25th on the Bicycling Magazine scorecard in April 2010.

In fact, the League of American Bicyclists rates Madison slightly ahead of Minneapolis in its rankings of Bicycle Friendly Cities. Madison has a gold ranking and Minneapolis a silver. Milwaukee has bronze.

It's likely that Minneapolis will gain more accolades in short order, as its bike sharing program moves into its second year.

For much of the year Minneapolis has bikes for rent/pickup/dropoff around their entire city. By swiping a card a user gets the use of a bike to be dropped off at another location. I don't remember the name of the company (lime green bikes) but the service is widely used by locals and in nicer weather months, visitors. Milwaukee is too backward of a place to have anything like this. 25th? Very difficult to believe.
