Let's start by admitting that a human being on a bicycle is as close to mechanical perfection as we are ever likely to get.  Zero emissions, maximum energy efficiency, appropriate design, few mobility or parking issues, easily repaired by simple tools and technology, free exercise, good for the brain--you just don't get much better than a human on a bicycle.

So, the trick becomes how to maximize the possibilities for biking while not pissing off people who still cling to their carbon-emitting, fossil fuel chugging, unsustainably wrong paradigm believing vehicle owners.  Of which, because I do own a car, I also include myself.

Where to start?

Minneapolis is already the second most bike-friendly city in the country, after Portland, Oregon.  And, by the look of recent policy initiatives, they may have their eyes on taking over the top spot.
