From that city to the northwest: What Pittsburgh Has That Cleveland Wants.

As the Post-Gazette recognized all those years ago, the most livable cities -- the ones that populate the League of American Cyclist's honor roll -- are the very same ones that are attracting the much-coveted young entrepreneurs. Cities like Denver, Portland, Seattle, Columbus, and as much we may hate to admit it, Pittsburgh.

It's a great article about Pittsburgh bicycling, it catches the sense of what's happened in Pittsburgh bicycling over the last ten years. The article correctly credits two main players for the bike renaissance:

• Bike Pgh
• Mayor Tom Murphy

I really think we should rename the Hot Metal Bike Bridge as The Tom Murphy Bike Bridge.
