Oulu Finland... I have yet to understand why it is so often overlooked; the cycling infrastructure in that city was just amazing.

It certainly beat what I have seen in either Portland or in San Francisco, or even Barcelona.

Oulu has a complete separate bike path network that is built like American freeways (only bike scaled) and the path network gives preference to cyclists to any and all destinations, including a car free downtown central core.

My only complaints were that all the path destination markers ("road signs") were in some foreign language. (at least for me... GRIN)
