Bike Friendly Cities

The Best Destinations for Cyclists
Many cities, especially within Europe, have always had a biking culture, but often didn't have the infrastructure to foster a more mainstream use of bicycles for public transport. As more people move to urban environments however, many local governments are installing bike lanes, investing in bike sharing programs, and offering cycling tours to visitors. Whether you have your own bicycle or simply want to rent one for a day of exploration, these cities are great places to explore on a bike!
