Does the statistic being cited include just Phoenix city limits or the entire Phoenix Metro Area? I can't tell because the link to Business Insider seems to go to some sort of cluttered infographic / list-icle rather than an actual research study with a discernible section on its methods.
I agree, however, that Phoenix's suburbs have long outperformed the central city in terms of bicycling infrastructure. Phoenix is only just now beginning to catch up with developments that have already taken place in Scottsdale and the East Valley.
