Salem Ranks 22nd in Latest Bicycling Magazine Best

Bicycling Magazine's annual rankings have come out, and Salem takes the 22nd spot. Portland is #1, Eugene is #9, and Salem fell down from #19 the year before. (Corvallis's population fell below the cut-off, otherwise they'd surely be on the list.)

But it's a parlor game. It's nice to see, of course. By national standards Salem is a good place to bike. But, man, there's still so much to do, and you can't take these things too seriously.
