Minneapolis joins Hangzhou, China and Amsterdam as cities that could serve as models for better bicycling policies,
believes a columnist for Valley Courier, a newspaper in Colorado.
The article notes that in addition to the extensive bikeway system in Minneapolis, the area is also home to the founders of Bike Fixtation (see previous coverage in The Line
here), a new kind of vending machine that dispenses bike accessories and patch kits.
"We could learn something from these models," the article notes. "[W]e'd save a lot of money and a lot of gas, while dropping the pounds that weigh us down."
