We run down some of the safest cities to cycle in the world. Subscribe to GCN on YouTube: gcn.eu/gcnsubs If you commute to work by bike, chances are you'll ride through a town or city to get there. The cities in this list are world leaders when it comes to catering for cyclists, according to the Copenhagenize Index, a bi-annual survey of 150 cities around the world. These cities rank highly due to factors such as segregated bike lanes, governmental support of cycling and bike hire schemes.
