Actually, where I am is OK; the only thing it really lacks is a good university. (Univ. of Charleston and WVSU don't really count.) It is also--WV being called "the Mountain State" for good reason--a little hilly; some parts of town are basically inaccessible by bike.
Anyone familiar with Urbana-Champaigne, IL or Bloomington, IN? The climate seems reasonable, both have fine universities, but how cyclist-friendly are they?
