I will probably need to be leaving the world of graduate school and getting one of the "real jobs". As such I need to start thinking about where I want to live. I was wondering what you folks have to say about locations good for biking here is what I would like.

1 good local bike shops
2 good selection of trails in driving distance
3 good racing scene within several hours.

Importantly, close enough to an urban center where I can find a job.

Choose Berkeley or Alameda. They are the most green cities in the Bay Area in my opinion. They are both quite bicycle friendly.

The Denver metro area is killer for all of these.

Look for cities with doctoral programs - -that's the only 'real job' suited to people with masters degrees.

Ah yes, the difficult transition from academia to the real world. There's always law school.
