Rochester is a mid-size city that maintains a small-town feeling, and it's easy to get around by car or public transportation. (Note: all city buses have bike racks). The Rochester International Airport provides direct flights (1-2 hours) to several other metropolitan areas such as New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago.
