It should come as no surprise that one of the most respected surveys about bicycle use comes from a Danish organization. This ranking by Copenhagenize Design Company uses a point system to compile a list of the cities looking to re-establish the bicycle as an accepted and practical mode of transportation.
This urban design consultant, with offices in Copenhagen, Brussels, and Montreal, assess and advise local governments on how to create a more cyclist-friendly urban landscape through planning, urban design, communication, and research, instead of focusing exclusively on the cities' engineering.
"While Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Utrecht maintain their spots at the top of the list for urban cyclist paradises, this year 4 new additions from different continents show how cities the world over are taking steps forward in making the bicycle one of their principal modes of transportation." - Copenhagenize Design Company
