Uuutreg!
1 & 4, not too shabby!
Ghent absolutely does not deserve to be #3. There are probably at least 10 Dutch cities better than Ghent.
AWESOME THANKS FOR THIS POST!!!
What the hell are these regional groups? Why is Mexico not part of North America? Why is ALL of Asia grouped with Australia and NZ?
Mexico not being there means a white USAmerican or Canadian made this list.
I literally have no idea how any city on planet earth could be more cyclist-friendly than Amsterdam. They are treated with more respect than cars and pedestrians.
The number 1 is Utrecht which is basically a very similar city to Amsterdam but a bit smaller and less over-crowded with tourism and just in general. It makes sense to me.
Living in France, from what I know I disagree. Grenoble blows Paris away easily.
No Spain? Last I checked cycling here was very encouraged
Spanish cities are among the worsed, when it comes to cycling modal share. It is very easy to find large streets within cities, which lack any sort of cycling infrastructure. That is not the case for quite a few other countries.
Just to be clear Spain is generally very walkable and has good public transport, but just not cycling.
Copenhagen is too heigh on that list I think. It could still be a lot better. Still lots of dangerous right turns and non protected bike lanes and poor parking options. I’m most salty about lack of parking actually. Train stations also often lack elevators with proper space.
Copenhagen is high because this list is from “Copenhagenize”, and their list is shit https://social.notjustbikes.com/@notjustbikes/115605190282240272

Helsinki? Lmao no.
I was surprised to find it on the list. I would not want to bike in Helsinki
Really, they have huge reputation for that?
The main network of wide bike paths is nice, but outside of that the painted on lanes and gutters can be unreliable. At times a lane just ends or abruptly turns into a one way lane. While bike infra is being improved, the city itself is still very much designed cars first. I suppose it’s definitely not the worst, but I am at least disappointed if there’s no more cities with better bike infra than that.
I cycle to work out of town when there’s no snow on the ground (I’m lucky in that it’s mostly parks, with only a couple of roads to cross on the 15km route), but it’s a lot easier to take public transit when heading downtown.
Oh yeah and Oulu in northern Finland should be mentioned for their exceptional winter maintenance of bike paths. Check out https://mas.to/@pekkatahkola
There Bicycle paths are do they not allow motorized vehicles? There bicycle paths are not complete enough, that riders have to leave them, for the stupid rest of bicycle riders options?
Yes, there’s nice dedicated bike paths where only bicycles (and also e-scooters and such) are allowed, but there’s not enough of them to be able to get everywhere.
That sucks! Sounds too much like South Florida.!
Helsinki #6? Hmm okay
The other ones must be very bad.
Just came here to check if there’s no polish cities. There shouldn’t be! But we often end up on such lists for no reason I could understand (lobbying? marketing?)
Lol, if Seoul is no. 5 in Asia, it means there are no cyclist-friendly cities in Asia. Maybe Christchurch is better, but even Taipei didn’t strike me as cyclist-friendly at all compared to most European cities I know.
MÜNSTER!
Doesn’t deserve a place in the top 10. Maybe in the top 50. But the list is bs anyway.
Oh i dont know how it is there. But i just like it mentioned :÷
Even though some claim otherwise, it’s hands down the best city for cycling in Germany. But it still doesn’t hold a candle against a lot of cities in NL… lovely city though, and very young/full of university students.
Yes. That i know
Why does this look AI generated?
