In Carlandia, a.k.a., the United States, May is National Bike Month.
To celebrate that, Walk Score, a website that rates neighborhoods and cities for their “walkability,” published a list of the top 10 most bike-friendly cities in the United States.
Cities were rated by the "number and quality of bike lanes and trails, destinations and road connectivity, and number of bike commuters and hills."
Scoring was out of 100, but the top-rated city this year, Minneapolis, only managed 79.
America’s Most "Bikeable" Cities:
1. Minneapolis
2. Portland, Oregon
3. San Francisco
4. Boston
5. Madison, Wisconsin
6. Washington, DC
7. Seattle
8. Tucson, Arizona
9. New York City
10. Chicago
Here is Kyoto, we doubt - no, we know - not a single Japanese city would be ranked anywhere near the top ten based on these criteria.
However, in a broader sense of the depth of bike culture, Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo, Hiroshima and other Japanese cities should fare very well.

That explains so much! I ride all the time in Boston and couldn't figure out how it ranked so high. But turns out it probably didn't SCORE very high...so it is all relative.
