Bike Heaven: Top Bicycle Friendly Cities in the World

Paris, France
Paris has long been a city that has encouraged cycling, and it’s slowly moving toward the campaign promise that now-mayor Anne Hidalgo made while on the campaign trail. She vowed that Paris would be the top bicycling city in the world by 2020. Each month, there are meetings between bicycle activists and city officials in hopes of moving this goal forward.
Currently, there are plenty of bike paths around the city, and the Velib bike-sharing program makes it easy to pick up a short-term rental. Plus, the scenery can’t be beat.
