8 Best Cities To Explore on Two Wheels

One of the best ways to explore a city is by bike. Walking is good, but distances between sights can be ᴘʀoнιʙιтιvᴇ. Subways and buses are fine, but you don’t really get a feel for the lay of the land. Driving and parking around most city centers is cosтʟʏ, coɴԍᴇsтᴇᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ιɴcoɴvᴇɴιᴇɴт. The truth is, some cities are safer and more suited for cycling than others. Leading the way with progressive bike lanes, bike-share programs and bike-safety ʟᴀws, here are some of the best cities around the world for freewheeling exploration.

Amsterdam

Copenhagen

Stockholm

Paris

Images of beret-wearing, baguette-toting bicyclers aside, many tourists are surprised to find Paris such a cycle-friendly town. However, in 2007 the Paris Town Hall introduced the Vélib program which is now the largest bike-sharing scheme in the world.

Berlin

Berlin’s layout lends itself well to cycling. It’s relatively flat, steep hills are few and 620 km of bike lanes have been established, including some Fahrradstrassen (bicycle streets) where bikes have priority and cars are limited to 30km per hour.

Seville

This beautiful old town in the Andalusia region of Spain is well-suited to cyclists with a large network of paths and lanes stretching over 120 km.

Montreal

Perhaps it’s the European influence, but Canada’s biggest city in the French province of Quebec has become one of the most bicycle-friendly towns in North America. Depths of winter aside, it’s easy to get around on an extensive network of bike lanes through friendly francophone neighborhoods in all corners of the city.

Tokyo

You may wonder how this cʀowᴅᴇᴅ, coɴԍᴇsтᴇᴅ, cнᴀoтιc city could possibly make a bike-friendly list, but considering the population density it’s remarkable that anyone attempts to get around on two wheels at all
