Comment on Copenhagenize Index 2025: The Global Ranking of Bicycle-Friendly Citiesparent

I can't speak about Nantes which I haven't visited for decades but I think it is wrong to count bikes lanes as a single parameter.

Dutch urbanists have found that bike lanes are very important when streets used by cars are unaltered. Once you implement a lot of traffic calming features and cars never reach 30kph comfortably, bike lanes aren't that important and then streets can be shared across all users.

it is wrong to count bikes lanes as a single parameter.

Of course it is. See % of safe km as a minimal condition, not as perfection.

Note that bike lane ! = safe km. You're right. There are bad bike lanes and good peaceful streets. See other comment for algorithm.

20 km/h streets are counted.
