Definition  
The ratio of extended cycling infrastructure to public roads is an indicator of road coverage by cycling infrastructure. The extended cycling infrastructure used in the numerator included: cycle tracks, cycle and pedestrian tracks, cycle lanes, limited access roads, bus lanes and cycle streets. The length of the road network used in the denominator was calculated by adding main roads and local roads. The local roads were selected using the following tags: residential, living street, unclassified. 

The ratio is an alternative estimate of completeness of the cycle network. In this case, we not only consider segregation on main roads, but also whether the local roads are developed to cycle-friendly standards.  

The bar chart illustrates the 20 countries with the highest ratios of cycle infrastructure to all public roads. Each colour represents the share of different infrastructure types. By hovering the cursor over the graph, additional information is displayed.

The map is coloured to represent the magnitude of the metric of interest. By hovering the cursor over the area of interest, the tooltip will display the main metrics. Similarly, the size of the dots are proportional to the length of cycle infrastructure. By clicking on the circles, a bar plot with the types of analysed infrastructure types will be displayed along with a link to explore the details.
