States Ranking for Being Bicycle Friendly

The League of American Bicyclists is an organization promoting the use of bicycles in everyday life.  It has been in existence since 1880 — WOW!  I was not aware of it until I came across their ranking and rating of the US States for Bike Friendliness.  The 2014 ranking is out and after reading it, I was actually somewhat surprised.  Why?  Because of the results that I saw — Minnesotta ranking as #2 !  The state is frozen large part of the year — how can it rank so well for being bike friendly…The same comment about the #3 Wisconsin….Yes, sure, these states may have great bike lanes in various cities but the biking crowd must be on the couch away from the snow multiple months of the year!!!

Here is the ranking — I would recomment — take it with the grain of salt, a Rather Large grain of salt mind you…
