Cycling data overview

Geographic coverage and validated observations are not the same as BU Score readiness.

Geographic OSM coverageNot separately scoredRegional percentages are not inferred
Verified region records3Technically verified regional records
Criteria with recorded evidence3 / 19Evidence status, not a weighted score
Bike Universe Score

Requires at least 80% of weighted evidence and mandatory quality gates

Bicycle shops, repairs and rentals

Counts refer to tagged OpenStreetMap objects — not a verified inventory of operating businesses.

Bicycle shops34OSM bicycle-shop tagged objects
Bicycle repair services7Objects with explicit repair-service tags
Bicycle rentals6OSM bicycle-rental tagged objects

These observations come from a technically verified OSM extract for the selected region. They do not establish that every tagged business is currently operating. Snapshot: .

Cycling infrastructure measurements

Four separately measured classes, clipped to the validated territorial boundary.

A complete technically verified four-category infrastructure snapshot for this region is not available yet. Verified regional data may be available independently.

Categories may overlap. Adding their lengths does not produce the length of a unique cycle network. These are OSM-derived observations, not a BU Score.

All 19 Bike Universe Index criteria

Presence of observations is not the same as a validated criterion score.

Sources, definitions and methodology

Bike Universe reports observations from OpenStreetMap contributors, using verified Geofabrik extracts, and separately tracks published Bike Universe Community App places. OSM tagged objects and Community App discoveries are never merged into a supposedly complete business inventory.

Geographic coverage describes the area represented by validated sources, not the share of businesses or infrastructure that exists. Incomplete regional counts are marked Collecting. A national BU Score is published only after at least 80% of the total criterion weight is supported by suitable evidence and all mandatory methodology requirements have been met.
