The Dutch capital does feature on the list, but it's actually its neighbour, Utrecht, that's been declared the most bike-friendly city for the past couple of years. More than half of Utrecht's population (51%) uses a bicycle every day.

The Netherlands' fourth largest city boasts 261 miles (420km) of cycling routes that run from the city centre to the countryside, while its bike-friendly infrastructure includes dedicated parking garages, ubiquitous bike racks and innovative traffic light systems.
