Couple of fun notes today. First is the Virgin Vacations Top 11 Bike Friendly Cities. I am very happy for Portland getting the number two spot ahead of Copenhagen. In triathlon parlance, this is HUGE, way to to Rose City!!! Nice also to see Boulder, Davis and SF in the top ten. YO Seattle. Wake up.
Second is a collection of photos of trick bikes. The choppers and high risers are cool, but my fave is the duathletes dream bike (shown), shoes as tires. Might be not as smooth as rubber but you don't have to worry about flats. Luckily it's a fixie so braking isn't an issue either.

Virgin Vacations lists the following eleven cities as being the most accessible and bike friendly, though they do concede there are many other gems out there too.
1. Amsterdam, Netherlands
