There is another more popular bike –friendly cities ranking bought by the Copenhagenize . With each edition, the Copenhagenize Design Company puts out a ranking of the world’s 20 most bike-friendly cities, using factors like bicycle culture, infrastructure, perception of safety, politics, and social acceptance to make its decision. In the latest 2015 Index, these cities rank the top 20 :
- Montreal, Canada
North America gets a spot in the top 20 with Montreal, which has a respectable bike infrastructure that’s heavily used by cyclists, as well as a top bike share system.
- Hamburg, Germany
A significant number of people in Hamburg use biking as their primary form of transportation, but Copenhagenize rips on the city for its “status quo of weird infrastructure that alternates between road and sidewalk without any logic.”
- Minneapolis, USA
A U.S. city actually made the list — and one with wintery weather that is far from hospitable to cyclists, no less.
- Paris, France
In parts of Paris, bikes make up 8% of all transportation used.
- Vienna, Austria
Vienna has a great network of cycle tracks outside the city center, and it’s one of the best cities for cycling in the area.

The city has a solid bike share system, but hasn’t made much progress in improving infrastructure over the last year.

In the last three years alone, Buenos Aires added more than 87 miles of infrastructure for cyclists.

Ljubljana started building cycle tracks in the 1960s and 1970s, and these days, bikes make up 12% of all types of transport in the city.

- Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona has an extensive bike infrastructure network and a bike share system that’s one of the most popular in the world.

- Antwerp, Belgium
Antwerp has top-notch bike parking (especially at train stations) and a strong bike share system,
- Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux has invested heavily in bike facilities and infrastructure, including a bike share service called VCub.
- Nantes, France

- Malmö, Sweden
Malmö clawed its way up from ninth place on the list last year with a large new bike parking facility, strong infrastructure, and an ongoing campaign to reduce reliance on cars called “No Ridiculous Car Trips.”
- Eindhoven, Netherlands

- Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg has 333 miles of bike routes in its metro area, and a bike share system that offers both short and long-term rentals.
- Utrecht, Netherlands
Utrecht is one of the top small cities for cyclists. It’s currently building the largest bike parking facility in the world (capacity for 12,500 bikes).
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Netherlands has more bicycles than people, the city is incredibly friendly to bikers and has an extensive infrastructure for them, but hasn’t done much in the way of innovation this past year.
- Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen takes the top spot for being insanely bikeable. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better city for biking (in fact, it’s usually easier than driving), and Copenhagen is constantly investing in new infrastructure.
