Yes, I took note that this article highlighted as The Most Significant Accomplishment: that 5.25% of the residents commute to work by bike.

The article didn't even discuss sidepaths but did show a picture of what appeared to be a very pleasant to ride sidepath adjacent to a busy road with no further info or description.

What is Steve G.'s point? The existence of a sidepath somewhere in a college town is something to make High Mileage Road Cyclists tremble in their cycling shoes, or is it alone something to rejoice in pride about? I'd say neither, and the article does neither.
