This came out of a bike group I am part of. At least there are plenty of great ice cream places in and around the city.

I probably would stop in Bellevue on a bike ride if it wasn’t so awful and clearly car dependent.

I was wondering why NYC wasn't included in the list, then I saw this

New York was not included in this longitudinal study because the high number of cyclists and lanes would have overwhelmed their models

😂

Whenever I biked around Brooklyn I definitely felt safer in the protected bike lanes. I've always assumed that the people that bike around in Manhattan, especially Midtown, have a death wish. Biking down the narrow and packed streets in Park Slope was enough for me, biking down 5th Ave during rush hour was about as good as walking.
