6. New York, NY
It makes sense that the hometown of the largest marathon in the world would make the list, but New York City isn't just for runners. Busy traffic aside, the city beat out all others as the best place to walk or bike to work. That's likely due to a targeted expansion of bike lanes and pedestrian walkways in recent years, one of the cornerstones of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's last term in office. The city is also third for healthy food options, though the concrete jungle is no place for people craving wide open spaces––it ranked 99 out of 100 for outdoors activities.
