Virgin names 11 best global bicycle cities
No surprises, really. Amsterdam is listed as numero uno. Portland, Oregon, freewheels in at number two.
The best bit is that Virgin Vacations has bothered to compile the list in the first place. The Virgin announcement of the top eleven has links, YouTube videos and informed commentary.
The Virgin story was spotted by Pascal van den Noort of VeloMondial, the global bike conference.
Pascal is a well-placed bicycle advocate, and not just because he lives in Amsterdam. He reports that Rome is soon to do a Paris, with a free/low fee bike rental scheme. 20,000 Velib-style bikes could be in place in Rome by mid-2008.
