MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A national bicyclists advocacy organization has ranked Mackinac Island as the best place to bike in the world in a 2025 ranking of locations.

PeopleForBikes, a national, non-profit organization based in Boulder, Colorado, based its rankings on network connection, intersection treatments, protected bike lanes, safe speeds and reallocated space.

PeopleForBikes described a bike network as “a connected system of protected bike lanes, off-street paths, slow shared streets, and safe crossings that enables people to comfortably bike around a city.”

That no motorized vehicles are allowed on Mackinac Island certainly played a part in its top ranking.

Here are the other Michigan cities with their ranking in the U.S. – Rogers City (41st), Marquette (42nd), Alpena (46th), Calumet (56th), Rochester (75th), Harbor Springs (79th) and Ludington (86th).
