A new metric has been developed to help city dwellers determine their neighborhood’s bicycling friendliness. Based on the design for the popular WalkScore metric (which rates walkability), the new BikeScore system is already available in 25 U.S. cities. The system rates cities from 1 to 100 (90 to 100 equals “biker’s paradise,” 70 to 89 “very bikeable,” and so on), as well as providing block-by-block ratings.
