This is really exciting to see. And you're absolutely right - if you can make it car-free there, you can anywhere. People I know there often cite the weather or distance as reasons they don't commute by bike, but so many Jacksonians ride long distances for pleasure (the Natchez trace is beautiful). For a lot of people there at least partially car-less is possible. I’m from Jackson but live in Chicago now. This is really exciting to see.
