Fort Collins, Minneapolis, Madison, Greenville also score

22% of residents commute on bikes and 95% of city roads have bike paths, so it's no real surprise that Davis, California has taken top honors with readers for Best Cycling Town in our latest Readers' Choice contest.



Colorado's Fort Collins, with its 310 miles of trails, mountain bike opportunities and even a Bike-In Cinema Series - ran a tight race and landed a very solid second place.



Rounding out the top 10 were Minnepolis, Madison, Greenville S.C., Chattanooga, Tucson, Durango, Sacramento and Bend, Ore. It's notable that so many cities in northern latitudes gained traction with pedal-pushing readers.



Only two southeastern cities represented the options east of the Mississippi. One of them - Greenville, S.C. - is the hometown of legendary champion cyclist George Hincapie, who served as our Expert for the category, and made the original 20 nominations.
