The problem with that line of thinking is that they say that 80% of the ranking is based on the following:
A city’s Network Score comes from PeopleForBikes’ Bicycle Network Analysis, or BNA. The BNA is a data analysis tool that measures the quality and connectivity of a city’s bicycle network. A bicycle network is defined as the system of paths, trails and streets that someone riding a bike can use to access everyday destinations, just like a road network serves vehicles or a sidewalk network serves pedestrians.
So less of a recreational focus and more on a day to day living focus. Again, not being a homer, but Vancouver really is on another level just on being able to bike every in dedicated bike lanes (much to the chagrin of many car drivers).
Plus, while the bike trails in the Gats are nice (at least the few that are still open), Vancouver kind of has some nice recreational trails too.
None the less, good for all these cities and fingers crossed for things to get better.
