The U.S. Census Bureau just released their list of best bike commuting cities. So, in honor of bike to work week, we thought we’d dedicate this post to sharing the fascinating results. See which cities made the list.

The Census Bureau estimates that bicycle commuting has increased by 60% in the last decade. For those of you out there keeping score, from the span of 2000-2012, bicycle commuting jumped from 488,000 to 786,000. That’s quite an impressive leap.

So what are the best bike commuting cities? Check out the nifty infographic below, courtesy of the Census Bureau.
