Where to move? (renting, neighborhoods, camping)

[indyatthemoment]

Hey all, I know there are a billion threads like this so . . .thanks for your input!
I am a 27 yo straight, white dude who is pretty laid back and am going to be moving in the next year, question is to where?? (denver and minneapolis seem to lead for me right now)

I've lived in Chicago and Indianapolis here is the things I know I like:
Chicago: urban feel (I will always live in a vintage building), lakefront, nightlife, bike friendly, food
Indianapolis:easy to get around, cost of living

Things I don't like:
Chicago:traffic, parking, drunk cubs fans (he, he), limited access to the outdoors (i'm a climber and mountain biker, I love camping on weekends, it has taken me 4 hours to get to Madison, WI), cost of living (a parking space in my building was $28K and I didn't live in an overpriced part of the city)
Indianapols: the city is vacant minus b-ripple, suburban mindset (get married, have kids, live in Fishers), chain restaraunts

Any recommendations are welcome!

Both Denver and Minneapolis will be more lively than Indy. And each city will have neighborhoods that are similar to Broadnipple in Indy. As far as renting is concerned Denver is probably a bit cheaper than Minneapolis. The Minneapolis economy appears to be stronger than Denver though. Both will offer plenty of year round outdoor activities. Denver and Minneapolis should be good places to meet single women.
