      Checked my home street, outright incorrect information (cycle street that doesn’t exist). Other OSM parsers display this correctly as just a bike route.

      So I’m afraid there’s still some work to do.

      Interesting to see a significant difference inside Belgium, between Flanders and Wallonia

      The science is very clear. If you provide people comprehensive and hardened cycling infrastructure people will use it and society will benefit from happier, healthier people.

      All my adult life, I’ve known that Netherlands is more bike friendly country than Denmark, but holy shit this map make it so much clearer.

      Nice for the west. In Iasi, Romania the infrastructure needs to be deleted. The mayor, that is since 2016 disbanded the bike infrastructure, and weeks before he said that the bikes are a Marxist thing 💀

      The paths in my local area are atrocious. Overgrown in places, badly surfaced, vaguely connected at times and badly signposted. Still enjoy using them though.

      I am disappointed in my home country of Sweden. We really need to step up our bike infrastructure game.

      Hmm, I find this slightly concerning that it doesn’t count forest tracks and field tracks. Near me I have a cycling route with the OSM data:

      “`
      bicycle designated
      highway track
      motor_vehicle no
      mtb:scale 0
      smoothness intermediate
      surface fine_gravel
      tracktype grade2
      “`
      [Waymarked trails](https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=16.0/50.1277/14.0764) | [OSM way](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/406836341) | [VeloPlanner (Missing)](https://veloplanner.com/maps/europe-bike-infra#14.21/50.12729/14.08287)

      Which would suggest that it should show on the map. It however doesn’t.

      OP, are you related to this project? I’d like to help correcting this.

      Poland is actually doing great considering that before the EU accession 22 years ago the bike paths were essentially non-existent.

    19. OmniSzron on

      Netherlands just styling on everyone. We’re getting there slowly in Poland, but man I’m still so envious of Dutch infrastructure. The principles of pedestrian safety and priority for biking and public transit are still not as prevalent here.

      The title of the post suggests that it’s about cycling infrastructure in general, but when you look at the legend it’s only looking at whether there are fully segregated bike lanes or bikes and pedestrians on adjoining surfaces.

    21. EzmareldaBurns on

      Spain is misleading as the areas without infrastructure are very depopulated. where people actually live, cycle lanes are common

    23. Tschulligom on

      For Austria, it’s wrong. Most bike paths are mixed use here, yet they are shown as red.

    25. schacks on

      Here in Denmark you can literally go anywhere on bike. Just not across any of the big bridges.

      For people who don’t know, here is a vid of the worlds biggest bicycle parking (below Utrecht Central train station). It’s quite impressive.

      The province of Utrecht also almost finished the bicycle highway between two of it’s biggest cities. The doorfietroute between Utrecht and Amersfoort. Almost a straight line with just a couple of non-priority points.

      Sorry for Dutch link.

      Crasy how Liverpool and Cardiff areas seem more congested than London.

      Also am Bulgarian and can confirm there is basically no cyclist infrastructure.

    31. BassGoesBrrrrr on

      There is so few infrastructure here on Austria, but so many cyclists. I drive for a living in rural areas, they are the bane of my existence.

    32. JConRed on

      And then people complain that Germany isn’t bike friendly…

      It’s not the Netherlands, but there’s plenty of bike infrastructure coverage as seen here.

    33. deviendrais on

      No bus or train lines between Serbia and Romania but at least we have an official cycling path 😎

    34. epSos-DE on

      Germany and NL and UIK doing very well. ONE can do Cycling tourism in there !!!

    36. maxis2bored on

      Obviously this is calling paint “infrastructure?
      Prague doesn’t have a single dedicated bike lane. Only those painted on to existing roads.

      Because of this, drivers don’t give a shit about them.

    38. elphin on

      Unfortunately for Russia, because without fuel, they will need bicycles. Even if the call off their invasion of Ukraine, it will be a long while before they will have enough fuel (or food). Bicycles wouldn’t fix their problems, but they would help.

    41. sisrace on

      Glad to see the yellow piss stain that is my city’s cycling infrastructure, in a country where the 1st and 2nd largest cities have plenty of red..

    42. Interesting_Bass_559 on

      Now overlay this map with altitudes,and you will see a remarkable coincidence…

    44. Iwillseetheocean on

      Where is the link??? I cant find it! 🙁 no salt just really want to interact with the map. lol

    45. i_like_trains_a_lot1 on

      Romania has too many, the data might include the lies politicians say about red paint on the sidewalk that counts as a bike path.

    47. ase_thor on

      I wouldn’t be mad if my region would join Netherland. We are basicly the german Friesland.

    48. sevenissimo on

      A red spot in Northern Italy?! Let me check… Oh, yeah, just a bunch of tiny, disconnected segments that are completely useless for getting anywhere.
