The Copenhagenize Report
Well, not surprising, really. Amsterdam takes the honours in the inaugural Copenhagenize Index. The city does well in nearly every category and while it ties Copenhagen for bonus points, it is top scorer in the standard categories. Along with the necessities like infrastructure and facilities, they also have outstanding advocacy, both political and non-political. The cycling atmosphere is relaxed, enjoyable, and as mainstream as you can get. This is the one place on the planet where fear-mongering about cycling is non-existent and it shows.

Copenhagenize Fixes
Amsterdam could use some creative thinking and innovation to improve cycling conditions and modal share even further. A more uniform design of infrastructure is also badly needed. We love cycling in Amsterdam but it would be more enjoyable if we didn't have to guess what the next stretch of cycle track will look like. Oh, and please do something about those damn scooters terrorizing the cycle tracks. Developing a more modern and effective marketing strategy would do wonders for promoting cycling even more. Try to think BIGGER.
