I agree! If I were to move back to Canada, Winnipeg would be one of the choices at the top of my list. The city of Winnipeg is not very friendly to cyclists, but the country around is. There is some great riding in the country around there ... empty highways, slow moving traffic. And although the city isn't particularly friendly to cyclists, it is managable by bicycle. But Winnipeg isn't trendy ... the population of Winnipeg doesn't change much ... and the housing prices there have remained relatively stable.
If you want to stay inthe US, I'd look at some of the small-to-medium mid-west cities.
