I've been working on some Montana data crunching... Was anyone aware the Bozeman has the highest bike and walk commute mode share in the state?

This is from the 2009 American Community Survey... it could be higher now.

Please share this with anyone who might be interested.

Okay -- apologies, Joe.  I guess one has to read ALL the figures more closely.  You're right.
