When people and groups work together, the results can improve Waterloo Region for *everyone*, not just people who ride bikes.

There's a lot more to be done, but it's great to see how the progress is making a difference.

We hope our infrastructure continues to develop and other cities follow suit 😀🚴🏼‍♀️❤️

Cambridge was in first place, followed by the London boroughs of Hackney, Islington, Newham, Waltham Forest, Southwark and Westminster, then Edinburgh. Oxford’s score of 79/100 was calculated from an automated Bicycle Network Analysis assessing routes to common destinations. reports the #Clarion.

"The small city of Hailey, Idaho, for instance, experienced a staggering single-year jump of 53 points, rising to a total score of 77 and technically outpacing the top-ranked large city on the list, thanks in large part to an effort to drop speed limits as low as 15 to 20 miles per hour on many of its streets.”

Last week, we looked at the 2024 version of the PeopleForBikes “Best Places To Bike” city rankings. Now let’s have a look at newly-released 2025 results for the cities in Waterloo Region. First up, check out Kitchener 😀🚴🏼‍♀️

The 2025 network score sees a big jump from 50/100 to 65/100. Great to see! The jump mIght be due to 40km/h speed limit on all residential streets, and updates to OpenStreetMap data that reflects that.
