My favorite paragraph from that article:<br>
<br>
> Though only 1.2 percent of San Jose residents commute by bike,
according to the city’s tally, <br>
> anecdotally the trend seems to be pointing toward higher
rates. The popular <a href="http://www.sjbikeparty.org/">San Jose
Bike Party</a> <br>
> has helped to boost ridership, drawing many first time riders
inspired by the impressive monthly <br>
> display of bike culture. The city has set a 5 percent bike mode
share goal by 2020, and 15 <br>
> percent by 2040.<br>

In case you're wondering what San Jose Bike Party looks like, here
