The Bicycle Paths Of Europe

Roman Kyrychenko has used OpenStreetMap information to exercise a map showing all of Europe's cycle paths. The map provides an interesting overview of Europe's cycling infrastructure as well as a reasonable direct to which countries inwards Europe accept the most developed wheel path networks.

The European Map of Cycle Paths is entirely a static map only the Random Forest weblog has posted it equally a large ikon thence y'all tin seat notice larn a reasonable movie of the wheel networks inwards every European country. Holland as well as Kingdom of Belgium actually stand upwards out on the map equally having extensive cycle networks. The populated areas of Scandinavia likewise appear to accept lots of biking infrastructure equally exercise many of Europe's largest cities. As the Random Forest weblog points out Eastern Europe doesn't accept equally many wheel paths equally Western Europe. In fact the farther y'all movement eastward inwards Europe the less wheel paths at that spot appear to be.

I'm non aware of whatever similar map of wheel paths for the USA. But if y'all are interested inwards cycling levels inwards America thence y'all should read the League of American Bicyclist's Analysis of Bicycle Commuting inwards American Cities (PDF). This annual written report explores the levels of cycling inwards the USA based on information from the American Community Survey.

New York City, Portland as well as Chicago are the overstep 3 cities alongside the most numbers of people cycling to works. In price of the per centum of the workforce who cycle thence Portland as well as Washington, DC are the overstep cities (in the seventy largest U.S. of A. cities). Of shape this doesn't actually state us much close the infrastructure for security biking inwards these cities.
