Yesterday, I mentioned that some people hate Citibike because they perceive it and programs like it to be "vaguely French."
Well, they've got it all wrong. You see, as wonderful as le beau pays is, and even though it is (or, at least was, until recently) more bike-friendly than most other places, probably no place on earth is more bike-friendly than Amsterdam.
At least that's what the folks at Copenhagenize would tell us. Based on my admittedly limited experience with Amsterdam, I wouldn't argue. According to their index, the city from which Colorado and Washington have taken their leads (in one area, anyway, if you know what I mean) edges out the Danish capital.
For all that's happened in places like New York, Boston and Portland, no US city made the top fifteen. In fact, Montreal--which tied Munich for #11--is the only North American city in that group.
