Your point is super important, but fortunately there is actually a lot of research and debate on this topic. The most common misconception is that it's enough to talk about the absolute total length of cyclable paths, but I simple to understand that's not the best metric to compare cities.

I'm the designer and developer of CicloMapa [1], one of the tools presented in the video. The project is a partnership with ITDP, which is an international organization that created and constantly measures a metric called People Near Bike (PNB) [2]. In summary takes into account if the infrastructure is really serving people that live nearby.

Another metric we use, at least for some brazilian cities, is IDECICLO [3], which analyses the quality of the existing infrastructure in terms of access, comfort, safety etc. It's a very holistic metrics, but compared to PnB is way more complex to measure and more prone to subjectivity.

That's amazing to hear so many people are getting so much happiness from this kind of videos! It was this same feeling that inspired me in the beginning of the pandemic to create a website with all the best videos I found out there, and I invite you all to take a look:
