I was in Munich for five years and biked heavily. The bike infrastructure there far surpassed any major US city, protected bike lanes and off street bike paths within the city were common. That said, bike lanes were still an obvious second class citizen compared to car lanes in terms of ubiquity and quality, so there's still plenty of room for improvement.
