Are repliers hatred of this simply the result that there are yet to be places where bicyclist have what they should? These places are the best, maybe, but the best is just not good enough?

I just disagree with the order. Copenhagen is definitely not number 2! I could be persuaded to agree with putting it in 4th place, but I don't know what metrics were used for this list. Yes, the bicycle lanes are great, but it's still a car-first city. Busses aren't simple to use and are massively de-prioritized, which I think is very important for bicycling in a city as big as Copenhagen; you have to take your bike on the bus every now and then, or else never participate in any events outside your comfortable biking distance.

No this list is just bad because they only include a select big cities. If this was a proper list it would be dominated by Dutch cities. It also just looks at what policies have been bolstered about, not how they have been implemented. For example, I've lived in Ghent for 10+ years now, but grew up in Utrecht. And if Ghent gets 67 points, Utrecht should get like 700 points. But because Ghent banned cars in the center and made one big bike parking they somehow get a high score. But the rest of the city is just terrible imho. But maybe I'm just spoiled growing up in Utrecht, who knows. But I've often complained about bike infrastructure in Ghent in those last ten years.
