Detroit: A great bike city, or the *best* bike city? 

We dive into that superwonky argument in the wake of Detroit’s abysmal showing in PeopleForBike’s annual rankings of the [Best Cities For Bikes in 2019](https://cityratings.peopleforbikes.org/?ref=dailydetroit.com). Detroit scored a lowly 1.6 out of 5 stars, the same as 2018, despite all the work that’s been done to install protected bike lanes, bike traffic counters and other bike-friendly infrastructure improvements. Ferndale and Ann Arbor both scored higher, at 3.0 stars each. 

But the organization’s methodology spurred a [rebuttal piece](https://detroitgreenways.org/measuring-detroits-bike-friendliness/?ref=dailydetroit.com) by Todd Scott over at Detroit Greenways Coalition. Who’s right? We talk about it. 

Also on today’s show:

- Detroit’s new streetlights are already going dark, adding to a familiar narrative about the city with broken streetlights.
- Republicans on Tuesday approved a bill that would reform Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance system, despite objections from those [radical leftists at the Michigan Health and Hospital Association](https://www.mha.org/Newsroom/ID/1930/MHA-on-Senate-Bill-1-the-Latest-Effort-to-Reform-Auto-No-fault-Accident-victims-lose-drivers-lose-and-healthcare-providers-lose?ref=dailydetroit.com). The bill now heads to the state House.
- And we offer our suggestions for where to go to celebrate Mother’s Day. You can also [read it here](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2019/05/07/5-ideas-for-mothers-day-2019-around-metro-detroit/).
