Amsterdam ceded its spot as the world’s most bicycle-friendly city to Copenhagen, losing out because of a lack of innovation on improving infrastructure.

The Danish capital, which was the runner-up in both the 2011 and 2013 versions of the survey, overtook Amsterdam on the 2015 Copenhagenize Index of the world’s Top 20 bike-friendly cities published on Tuesday. Copenhagen won points for a rash of improvements to cycling in the city.
