This year’s Global Bicycle Index looked at 90 cities around the world and ranked them based on loads of factors, from bike lanes and rates of bike theft to the number of days of ‘cyclable’ weather per year.

I am not really surprised at the fact that 9 out 10 cities are in „northern“ Europe .
I am also quite pleased to see that the city where I have lived the longest time i.e Hannover is in the top 10. I must say I felt really safe riding my bike there. Something I would not do in my current town despite some efforst by the local administration to build some bike lanes.
