These are America’s 50 most bicycle-friendly cities, according to Bicycling magazine. Yes, New York and Philadelphia make the cut.
How did cities get on the list? In the words of the magazine: “There are many important things a city can do to gain our consideration for this list: segregated bike lanes, municipal bike racks and bike boulevards, to name a few. If you have those things in your town, cyclists probably have the ear of the local government?another key factor. To make our Top 50, a city must also support a vibrant and diverse bike culture, and it must have smart, savvy bike shops.”
Bicycling also came up with a list of the top five bike cities with fewer than 100,000 people. No West Windsor–yet.
