Thanks to the repliers! These seem like great leads.  I will email you off list to carry on the conversation.

Anyone have a more eastern example?

Longmont is probably a good example of what you're looking for.

Developing bike culture

No college or university

We are about 20 years into bike infrastructure development. However most on street stuff has occurred in the last ten years. 

Unfortunately, our recent floods have wiped out about 15 to 20 years of trail development. 

I can send more info later

hey ThinkTank,

somewhat separate from my work at Troy Bike Rescue, I am part of an appointed citizens committee on alternative transportation (an idea our city is just sort of coming around to).  we have 0 bike lanes, few bike racks, and about 11 sharrows (under a year old). 

our task is primarily research-oriented, and I am searching for comparable cities and hoping the ThinkTank might help me.  Do any of you have suggestions of cities with the following characteristics:

-population: 50 - 100,000

-small "bike culture" community

-sizeable low-income population

-investing time/money/energy into bicycles as a way of turning the city around.

-demonstrable progress on that front

i know they are out there, but most examples are of much bigger cities.

I appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks!!
Andrew
