World’s most bicycle-friendly cities

1st place – Utrecht (Netherlands)

The Dutch city of Utrecht tops the list of the world's most cycling-friendly cities. It is considered to have the most developed bicycle infrastructure among all major cities. Recently, local roads have been completely retrofitted to accommodate cyclists. Utrecht also has the largest bicycle garage on the planet, which has more than 12 thousand parking places. Not surprisingly, the bicycle is the most popular mode of transportation in this city, with more than half of the residents (51%) using it in their daily lives.

Munster is considered to be the bicycle capital of Germany thanks to its well developed cycling infrastructure. More than 40% of its residents use bicycles as their primary means of transportation.

3rd place – Antwerp (Belgium)

The port city of Antwerp cannot boast the same well-developed network of bike lanes like other cities on the list, but the municipal government is actively expanding it. Antwerp has an established system of bike-sharing and numerous parking places for bicycles. Periodically, the city holds Car-Free Sunday events aimed at popularizing cycling.

4th place – Copenhagen (Denmark)

The Danish capital's administration is also actively developing the city's cycling infrastructure, investing substantial funds in it. Over the last 10 years, Copenhagen has been spending about €11 million annually in this area. Of course, such huge investments have already borne fruit. By now, the city has created a large number of high-quality bicycle routes and lanes, as well as several dozen convenient bike parking lots. Given such a favorable environment, it is not surprising that most Danes continue to ride bicycles even in winter.

5th place – Amsterdam (Netherlands)

The capital city of the Netherlands is the fifth most bicycle-friendly city on the planet. Despite a well-developed bike infrastructure, such as a large number of bike lanes and parking lots, Amsterdam cannot be called the most comfortable place to ride a bike. Many residents are afraid to cycle because of the high road accident rate. According to the latest data, there are more than 1,000 accidents per 100,000 cyclists in Amsterdam, a rate that is almost five times higher than in Copenhagen.
