1. Portland

The first American city to receive a Platinum Bike Rating from the League of American Bicyclists, this metropolis of 500,000 remains by consensus #1 among North America's bike friendly cities. Portland is not resting on its two-wheeled laurels however, having recently initiated a Pilot "Green Box" program that directs cars away from bikers at busy intersections. Visitors will find 164 miles of bike lanes, 66 miles of bike paths, 30 miles of bike boulevards and great access to mountain bike trails.
