I really wish these bike friendly city ranking lists wouldn't count door-zone bike lanes or "protected" bike lanes that use plastic straws (and are clogged with parked cars/trucks) as bike infrastructure.
@Andres4NY the ironic thing is that even in # 2 Portland, we still have to fight for every bit of bike lane & we caught one city commissioner trying to rip one out downtown last year. So nowhere is really good, certainly not in the US yet, anyway (but at least we still beat Seattle 😃)
@greendesignek Yep, I followed that bike lane remove thing; what a mess!
Lots of my Greenways friends moved from Seattle to Portland for the bike infrastructure. With Dongho gone from SDOT and multiple terrible Mayors in a row, Portland's lead is pretty safe..
@Andres4NY Same goes for inaccessible cycle infrastructure. I've been arguing that we can't keep giving people awards just for being slightly less shitty than the average US city. It's a very low bar. #BikeTooter#UCAccessNow
