The annual People for Bikes rating of bike-friendly cities is out for 2025. Cities are scored on a 1-100 scale, with Mackinac Island, which bans cars and moves everyone and everything around by bike, scoring a perfect 100. Where’s SLC? At a very respectable 62, up a massive ten points from last year. But more importantly, we now beat New York City!
Other cities we trounced included Philly, DC, Tucson and Austin. We owned Boise and San Diego, and left LA long in the rearview mirror. Even better, we beat such acclaimed bike meccas as Portland, Madison, Chico and Burlington.
San Francisco did edge us out by a point. Something to aim for next year!

P.S. Park City came in right behind SLC at 61.
