3. London, UK
London is the capital city. It is busy and the number of people living, working and visiting it is growing every year. The city is visited by tourist and those who do business there. The public transport system is very well-developed, but still there are a lot of citizens who opt for bicycles and commute by riding their bikes. London has been included in the list of the most bicycle friendly cities. In 2010 the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, decided to launch a bicycle sharing system. The brand known as Barclays Cycle Hire opened a ton of dock stations. They are readily available since they are spread all over the city. Credit cards are accepted. You will always know where you are allowed to drive since there are specially painted paths for cyclists. Despite the numerous docks and paths, people find difficulties in riding their bikes due to the heavy traffic. If you not discouraged by this fact, you are welcome to hire a bike and ride it.
