Re: Best city in US for bicycle paths/hassle free commuting.
If you look at the list linked above, you'll notice that most of the smaller bike friendly "cities" are college towns.
Portland Oregon is probably the best bicycling city in the US among those with a population of 500k or more. Not surprisingly, it also has one of the best mass transit systems in the U.S. Portland is now adding "Bike Boxes" to dangerous intersections, much to the anger and chagrin of drivers. My personal feeling is that attempting to remove bicycles from traffic by constructing separate paths for them is the wrong way to build a bike friendly city. It only reinforces the notion among drivers that bicycles don't belong on the street. They do. PDX Bike boxes |

Dayton does have bike racks on the front of it's buses. I have never used them as my commute is a whopping 2.5 miles through mostly neighborhoods. I have seen a handful of people use them but rarely have I seen more than one bike on a bus. |
