A very well written and well thought out article in my opinion. It's kind of overly focused on MN and the Twin Cities as opposed to a more national view but since it is for a readerstship in that area, no big surprise.

Overall, bicycle commuting is a good goal but how to fit that into the local infastructures is the huge challenge. My bicycle commute is 16 miles (on the bike) and 22 miles on the Metro Train, with no bicycle specifc infastructure at all. And yet, it still works well!
