I have no baseline to compare my area to any other area for bike commuting. I have only bike commuted in the DC area. I am certain my bike commuting experience is quite different from many others even in this region. I happen to currently ride on MUPs for 90% of my commute, so it's great, but at other jobs, I've had to ride on roads much more, and it sucks. So, it kind of depends on your particular circumstances, and your tolerance for cars, potholes, weather, etc. Anytime I hear "City X is #1 for bike commuting," I take it with a grain of salt. Limited, highly subjective data is not sufficient to come up with to anything more than individual anecdotal experiences.
