Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱My dad sent me this article the other day and I literally laughed out loud when I read the title.
Only an American would write a title like that.

You should know that these "city rankings" are always a load of nonsense and should never be taken seriously.
They're usually put together in an afternoon by a marketing department, in this case, it's a marketing piece for a home loans website.
The goal is to get clicks, not to be accurate. In fact, the less accurate you are, the more likely you are to get clicks, so getting the intern to put it together in Excel based off of an arbitrary "scoring system" is a benefit.
Tenkoman@notjustbikes Munich - walkable? - *painfully laughs as someone living and working in Munich and needing to take the bus or train to get anywhere in a safe way and getting annoyed by all the accidents on the stroat we call "Mittlerer Ring"*
rarvaen@tenkoman @notjustbikes I live in Munich too and it is fairly walkable. Yes the mittlere Ring is awful but in general you get by without a car pretty well and most people have everything they need in their day to day life in a walkable distance. Is it the most walkable city on earth? I highly doubt it, there are cities with superior infrastructure for that, but is it walkable in general? Yes I think so
@rarvaen @notjustbikes Fair point, however the more you get to the outskirts the more uncomfy walking gets (not a fan of walking in Daglfing or Hart) - within the inner zones, yes walking is fine-ish.
