The main network of wide bike paths is nice, but outside of that the painted on lanes and gutters can be unreliable. At times a lane just ends or abruptly turns into a one way lane. While bike infra is being improved, the city itself is still very much designed cars first. I suppose it’s definitely not the worst, but I am at least disappointed if there’s no more cities with better bike infra than that.
I cycle to work out of town when there’s no snow on the ground (I’m lucky in that it’s mostly parks, with only a couple of roads to cross on the 15km route), but it’s a lot easier to take public transit when heading downtown.
Oh yeah and Oulu in northern Finland should be mentioned for their exceptional winter maintenance of bike paths. Check out https://mas.to/@pekkatahkola
There Bicycle paths are do they not allow motorized vehicles?
There bicycle paths are not complete enough, that riders have to leave them, for the stupid rest of bicycle riders options?
Yes, there’s nice dedicated bike paths where only bicycles (and also e-scooters and such) are allowed, but there’s not enough of them to be able to get everywhere.

That sucks! Sounds too much like South Florida.!
