- Seattle
Austin leads the pack and is the home base of Whole Foods markets and Lance Armstrong. Austin Energy offers Green Power, the greenest power grid in the country. Near the middle of the list, Chicago, the Midwest’s biggest metropolis, is vying to be the bike-commuting capital of the country. They even offer bicycle valet parking for city events.
But Seattle, the number 10 contender, is spending $32 million over the next 10 years to become the best community for bicycling in the US. They have already helped cut emissions by 60% in the past 20 years and have plans for more green benefits.
We all share the dream of helping to provide a cleaner world for the generations to come.
