The C-MAX is a compact hybrid utility vehicle and the Ford’s first dedicated line of hybrids. The 2013 C-MAX Hybrid will be available this fall with a base price of $25,995.

It seems like it was just yesterday that Lexus introduced the HS 250h hybrid, the first dedicated luxury hybrid (like the Prius, there’s no non-hybrid version of the HS 250h).

It shows the evolution of Portland’s bikeways from 1980 to the present, and is a good visual reminder that great biking cities are made deliberately; they don’t start out already formed, people have to put in the effort of making them bike friendly.

These types of rankings are important because they help put pressure on under-performing cities to improve, and they highlight the best practices of top cities for others to copy.
