We have gaps to fill. But we also have a lot to learn from our neighbours.

Explanation of the methodology used in calculating scores Behind Your City's Score PeopleForBikes’ City Ratings measures the quality of a city’s bike network. A bike network is a connected system of protected bike lanes, off-street paths, slow shared streets, and safe crossings that enables people to comfortably bike around a city. Each city receives a City Ratings score on a scale of 0 - 100. A low score (0-20) indicates a weak bike network, meaning the city lacks safe bikeways or there are gaps in the network. A high score (80-100) indicates that most common destinations are accessible by safe, comfortable bike routes that serve people of all ages and abilities. City Ratings scores are released annually each summer based on results from our Bicycle Network Analysis (BNA) data analysis software that measures the quality and connectivity of a city's bike network. The BNA assesses six factors captured in the acronym SPRINT: Icon for PeopleForBikes Places Improvement Theme Safe Speeds Safe Speeds Icon for PeopleForBikes Places Improvement Theme Protected Bike Lanes Protected Bike Lanes Icon for PeopleForBikes Places Improvement Theme Reallocated Space Reallocated Space Icon for PeopleForBikes Places Improvement Theme Intersection Treatments Intersection Treatments Icon for PeopleForBikes Places Improvement Theme Network Connections Network Connections Icon for PeopleForBikes Places Improvement Theme Trusted Data Trusted Data You can read more about SPRINT at How to Improve Your City’s Score.

Comments from Cllr Jenkinson and from Spokes Transport and Environment Convener, Councillor Stephen Jenkinson said: “This new report which highlights Edinburgh as the top location for cycling in Scotland is testament to the work we’re continuing to undertake across our city. We have a clear set of objectives under our City Mobility Plan including creating safer and improved conditions for walking, wheeling, and cycling. “We’ve seen great success with our active travel projects including the City Centre West to East Link (CCWEL), Roseburn to Union Canal, and Leith Connections. All these schemes have reported increases in pedestrians and cycling journeys, with our residents and visitors taking advantage of this new infrastructure. “We’ll continue to build on these foundations to keep Edinburgh moving and make our city a safer, more sustainable, and accessible place for all.” Dave du Feu, Spokes, the Lothian Cycle Campaign, said: ‘’Comparing different cities is notoriously difficult, but Spokes would agree with PfB that Edinburgh is ahead of most UK cities, though well behind much of Europe. It is surprising that Edinburgh is shown ahead of London, given London’s now extensive segregated bike infrastructure and mature bike hire, but the PfB criteria do also include significant other factors and also show that some Boroughs are well ahead of Edinburgh. ‘’Spokes conducts biannual Edinburgh city-centre traffic counts, and our post-pandemic results of a gradual rise in bike use and fall in motor traffic in the city centre do in general concur with the PfB findings. ‘’What is particularly striking about our Edinburgh data is the very substantial rise in cycling in the few locations where there is new segregated provision, compared to much more modest rises elsewhere.’’
