Wow. Pittsburgh netted bronze category and yet PA made #12? So many people commute to Pittsburgh by car from surrounding areas that much of the traffic is not the city's population. Some of those measurables may reflect commitment they weigh positively but some are not universally deemed good in all communities. I'd rather have more informed and accommodating drivers on the road around me than designated bike lanes forcing all riders, both directions, into a very small and physically unprotected space on the road with ignorant, confused or uninformed drivers.
I've had a much better than bronze experience commuting and recreationally riding over the last dozen years than this survey implies. We have the western end of the GAP trail here which knits into several bike-only or very bike friendly routes to move all around town with ease. I like that I can commute or go on an epic ride (single or multiple day) without taking my bike for a long drive first. I can't remember the last time I used my roof rack for going to a ride. No good way to quantify local cycling culture objectively, so I guess their results reflect what they could compare and defend statistically.
