I did a short term consult with a company QBP, Quality Bicycle Parts here in the Twin Cities. It was my introduction to bicycle culture. Happy people who are thrilled by what they gain by embracing a bike and letting go of a car. The cities are crazy bike-friendly despite the weather. While I never became a bike junkie, there is still time. QBP.com is the ultimate website for bike-crazies. My favorite memory of the experience was the incredible number of employees who commuted to work by bicycle even in winter! Studded tires! The trail system makes getting just about anywhere, at least in 3-4 counties pretty easy and safe.

That's awesome, will check out the site! Biking has completely reinvented my family's relationship with the city in the best possible way. One day, when the kids are a little older, I think we might be able to drop to no car, and two cargo bikes. A man can dream...

It was one of the most unusual corporate cultures I ever ezperienced. I would not be surprised if one of the bikes you ride is one of theirs. They are the biggest supplier to bike shops and you can't go into a shop without seeing their catalog.
