For what it's worth Utrecht has a high student population.
Rather than weather, I suspect that flat terrain has the biggest positive effect on bicycle use, especially for commuting. On flat ground you don't have to work up a sweat.
- pak 15y agoMany cities (in the U.S. at least) have a metropolitan center that is almost completely flat. San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and Seattle are the most obvious exceptions, but as far as I can remember, almost all the other cities toward the top of this list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by...) are really, really flat.
