The 20 Most Bike-Friendly Cities in America

These days there are more reasons than ever to don a helmet and hop on a bike, whether your goal is to reduce your carbon footprint, cut down on gas costs, get fit, or simply relive the childhood joy of riding a two-wheeler. Some cities are even jumping on the bandwagon, working to make bike travel safer and easier. To provide useful information for cyclists and motivate cities to improve their bike culture, People for Bikes has ranked American cities on a scale of 1 to 5 for bike-friendliness, factoring in ridership, safety, the biking network, outreach, and acceleration (the speed with which cities are making infrastructure improvements and encouraging ridership).
