How does Michigan rank in terms of bike friendliness?

Not well. According to a recent study by the League of American Bicyclists, Michigan ranks 18th out of 50 states, dropping four spots since 2014.
 
A number of factors went into calculating each state's bike friendliness, including the percentage of commuters cycling to work, whether or not a state has a complete streets policy (Michigan does), and the amount of dedicated state funding going towards cycling infrastructure.
 
Washington and Minnesota topped the list, while Kentucky and Alabama scored the lowest.
