Portland more bike-friendly than Copenhagen?

Screen grab from Virgin Vacations website.

I came across a website today that lists the “11 Most Bike Friendly Cities in the World”. It looks to be the work of a travel agency working for Virgin Atlantic Airways.

The source of the list isn’t exactly what I’d call authoritative, but it was still fun (if not downright hilarious) to see Portland listed in the #2 spot, ahead of Copenhagen, Denmark!

Here’s their full list:

1. Amsterdam, Netherlands
2. Portland, Oregon
3. Copenhagen, Denmark
4. Boulder, Colorado
5. Davis, California
6. Sandnes, Norway
7. Trondheim, Norway
8. San Francisco, California
9. Berlin, Germany
10. Barcelona, Spain
11. Basel, Switzerland

There must be someone at Virgin Vacations that is into bikes to have taken the time to put this list together.
