Introduction

South Dakota would be a great host state for Bicycle City because of its vast natural resources and diverse terrain including rolling hills and rugged mountains criss-crossed by rivers and glacial lakes. Development here would be ideal because of a great deal of reasonably-priced real estate as well as vast stretches of public lands.

 

The culture of the state is built around nature and the outdoors and is heavily influenced by the area’s Native American population. A Bicycle City would be a great compliment and a natural fit in this beautiful country.
