I have to agree with Tim Mac. Minneapolis is heaven for cycling. Lots of off-street paths that go places, bike lanes, and compared to 5 years ago, I feel that bikes are MUCH more accepted on city streets. While I don't spend much time observing the administrative and political machinations behind the scenes, it seems like this stuff just happens in Minneapolis, with minimal controversy. St Paul, on the other hand, while not bike un-friendly by any means, seems to have all sorts of political resistance to putting down any new bike infrastructure. Some of the stories I've heard from the other side of the river, in regard to bike-related "controversies", are baffling.
