Also, please remember that the City of boulder has a population of maybe 50K people and a huge reverse commute of people coming into the town from the outlying communities due the oppressive cost of living there.

You poor overworked slave, you. If you need help climbing those mountains I'm sure I could be of assistance. I'd be willing to "take one for the team." Otherwise, I think Davis, CA better be careful. I'm very familiar with Davis having visited and biked all over town a number of times while visiting a good friend and it sure looks from this video that there might be a new #1 bicycle town. Also, if you were a CEO and could locate your headquarters anywhere in the US, wouldn't Boulder seem like such a nice place to locate? You know with all those intelligent, healthy, well educated people all enjoying a high quality of life and all. Oh Clarence.

Impressions: 1) For a city of that size, that's a whole bunch of people doing green transportation planning and promotion; 2) The thoroughness with which they have minimized at-grade intersections of paths and roadways is stunning (and strikes the curmudgeon within as not easily replicated in less wealthy or progressive communities); 3) I wonder how helpful cultural homogeneity is in making change such as this.
