That’s a bit of surprise.. One would expect a city like Portland to top this list..Nonetheless, it is good to see the number of cities expanding their biking infrastructure.
San Francisco is the most bike-friendly city in the United States. With 5.6 miles of dedicated bike lanes, multiuse bike paths and signed bike routes per square mile (263 miles in total), the Californian metropolis offers the best biking infrastructure in the country.

Five-Fold Increase in Number of Bike Stations Time flies! It wasn’t so long ago that the
Washington DC bike-sharing pilot project was born, and now it’s growing up: “By summer, the D.C. Department of Transportation will have expanded the current Smartbike system from 10 racks to 50 racks.” Total number of bikes should be about 500. Not quite Paris with its Vélib program (20,000 bicycles!), but a step in the right direction.
