If you want to see infrastructure done correctly, go to southern Germany, Bavaria. Miles and miles of off road paved MUPs. A cycling paradise.

I live in the boondocks, so no dedicated infrastructure for roadies, except miles of well maintained gravel rails to trails conversions and 100s of miles of single track. I am lucky to live in what’s considered to be one of the nicest rural cycling areas near Seattle. Used to enjoy riding in the valley so much, I moved here.
