Hello!

I think Iowa City is a nice example of a smaller community (it balloons with student populations) but an active bike population.

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
