Census Data Shows Where Americans Bike To Work

In what cities do the most people commute to work by bike? New census data just released has the answer.


The 2011 American Community Survey says that more than 777,000 people nationwide rode to work as their primary means of commuting in 2011.
Davis, CA was the city with more workers biking to work than any other city. And Spokane even made the list, although obviously not nearly as close to the top as Davis.

Governing.com has the story,but remember, there are some pretty big error margins when figuring something like this.
