if you've never been to minneapolis, it is pretty utopian (from a cyclist standpoint). it's been rated one of (if not the) best city for cycling by a lot of groups. i was in awe when i visited.

in this photo you can see a trail. 2 way bike traffic + a pedestrian lane. in the background, that suspension bridge, that's JUST for this trail to cross the highway. whole f-in bridge.
The path in the picture is part of my commute. FWIW, the bridge in the background also has a nifty blue lighting system.
