I'm surprised Yorba Linda, CA didn't make it. Great hills.

I don't have the guts to ride downtown. I'll stick to the suburbs thank you.

Lot's of nice parks and trails in Madison. No surprise there...

Ahem! I rode from the Bronx to Commack, LI(about 55 miles) than From Commack to South Hampton (another 50 miles). Took Broadway all the way down to the 59th street bridge in Manhattan than a straight run to commack. Queens drivers were the most clueless though.

Her initials are YL, and my initials are YL (ignoring the hyphen of course). Perhaps I should have said great curves as well, no?

I'm kidding. Really. Yorba Linda is a CITY. Shelf is just funning with me.

I seriously doubt Arlington, Texas is a great place to ride a bike. I mean it...people up there don't appreciate bicycles, no bike lanes, clogged and congested roads. Unless it changed literally overnight.

Anchorage..I guess the bikes up there come with snowplows. I bet the biking is great for about 4 months a year.

It is probably the lack of cars that makes Anchorage good for bicycling. I wonder if they've considered the moose, though.

Don't know if I could out pedal a moose, this one looks pretty fast.
