'It's a snapshot of how cities are reclaiming public space' - none of the top 30 cycling cities in the world are in the UK or USA

Two people cycle next to a row of parked bikes.

The list of the world’s top 30 bike-friendly cities has been released, and the UK and the USA are nowhere to be seen.

Scroll past the Dutch-dominated top-ten, from Utrecht to Amsterdam, past Sweden, Germany, Austria, France and, three places short of the golden 30 is London, followed immediately by Manchester. Liverpool didn’t get a look in. Portland is the highest ranking city in the USA, at 35th.
