Not long ago, we staked out a bold new goal for We Love Cycling magazine: to collect as many of the worst cycle lanes across the globe as we could and gather them in the biggest gallery of its kind. And thus, the Worst Cycle Lane in the World Gallery<\/a> was born! It\u2019s been driven purely by user submissions. Here\u2019s our selection of the \u2018best\u2019 entries from across the globe!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Worst Cycle Lane challenge saw submissions from various corners of the world. Luckily, the experience of more people saddling up (especially in the cities) and the subsequent cycling infrastructure improvements that resulted from it has been almost universal. For example, the Portuguese city of Guimar\u00e3es made a great step towards a greener, less emission-burdened future by creating Ecovia<\/a> in 2021, a network of cycle lanes that perfectly connects the downtown with the suburbs, commercial zones, landmarks and more. Furthermore, the Swedish city of Malm\u00f6 has been hailed as a champion of cycling<\/a> in 2019 for its brilliant strategies that resulted in 22% of the population \u2013 and growing \u2013 using bikes daily. Let\u2019s also mention Australian Melbourne\u2019s cycling superhighways<\/a>, which got the green light in 2020 and are being endorsed by Australia\u2019s independent infrastructure advisory body, Infrastructure Australia.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the gallery, the work is far from over \u2013 but that means even more reasons to never stop improving!<\/p>\n
