Minneapolis No. 1 for posting to Facebook about bicycling

Much has been made of how much Minneapolitans like to bike. They also like to talk about cycling – a recent survey found that people in Minneapolis mention the sport on Facebook more than residents in any other city.

Facebook last week created its own top 10 "fittest cities," and Minneapolis wasn't on it. (The site examined cities with more than 200,000 registered users on fitness-related check-ins and mentions, as well as the use of fitness apps, HuffingtonPost notes.)

But Minneapolis did rate a mention for how much people in the city post updates to the social media site about bicycling, Facebook noted. Here's the list of other cities that lead in various categories of Facebook sports chatter:

Dance: Oakland, Calif.

Yoga: Austin, Texas

Running: Oklahoma City, Okla.

Marathon: San Diego

Triathlon: Grand Rapids, Mich.

Weight loss: Livingston, N.J.

Adventure: Chicago

Swimming: Tucson, Ariz.

CrossFit: El Paso, Texas

Health club: Wichita, Kansas
