It's above average for sure. As a counterexample, take the city of Münster, which covers twice the area of Freiburg and is often praised as one of the most bike-friendly cities in Germany. It only claims to have 300km of bike lanes.

There are a lot of 1M+ cities that have more than that. Just from personal experience:

* Munich - 1,200 km

* Berlin - 422 km

* Toronto - 973 km

* Metro Vancouver - 4,600 km

But comparing the cumulative length of bike-paths is a bit of a silly comparison anyway.

I don't think it's that silly if you compare it to the cumulative length of roads for cars
