I'll be temporarily living in Scottsdale this summer and working in Tempe. I'll be working near Rural Rd and Southern Ave in Tempe and live almost straight north of there. Is this a decent area for bicycle commuting? Is Tempe in general a good city for bicycle commuters? What about Chandler/Gilbert?

I've been a commuter in ND for a long time but just looking for some AZ commuting tips. Thanks.
