I heavily doubt this list. As a NL native, I would guesstimate that probably the first 50/150 on this list should be dutch cities. Ofc that would be a boring list, but I have been in somewhere between 50 and a 100 EU cities and it looks to me like we have an extreme luxury here with our biking situation.
I’ve seen some larger cities in EU that seemed doable on the bike, but even then, lanes end at random spots and the network is incomplete. Are you supposed to mount the curb in those situations? Or take your chances mixing in motorized traffic with your 20kg vehicle? And the smaller EU cities I’ve seen weren’t better.
Plus, Amsterdam could be fun to bike around if it wasn’t bursting at the seams from the high amount of tourist bike noobies trying their first few km on the pedals. I’m happy they’re here, but it’s not an improvement to biking 😄 better off taking the tram.
Can confirm, any average dutch backwater has better bike infrastructure than Cph. It’s not just bike lanes, the transitions, signalling and direction changes are far better thought out.
Exactly. Amsterdam at no4? Above Groningen? Above Houten, the city designed around traveling by bike? Both of which aren’t in this top 10? I also call bullshit on this list

What you mean a NL indigenous person?
Yeah as in born and raised. I guess the raised part is most important for this.
I meant where, NL mean?
The Netherlands
Oh, okay, never seen the abbreviation. sorry,
