Do you mean the longest bridge made expressly for cycles,
or the longest bridge on which you can cycle? (Probably
the former.)
But if the latter, then the Afsluitdijk across the Ijsselmeer
(formerly the Zuider Zee) is fairly long - about 30km, as I recall.

| Oops, I just re-read your note, so clearly .1 is not the answer.
But I'm leaving it in anyway to pique the imagination of what
it's like to cycle 30km in a straight line with water on either
sides, and seafowl careening overhead.
I don't recall any special cycle-bridge in Munich, unless maybe
on the north part of the Mittlerer Ring. Well, that's lots of help.
Good luck.

| But what *is* a cycle bridge ? Cyclists only ? Pedestrians + cycles ?
Cars + cycles ? cars + cycle lane ?

| For those of you waiting in suspense.
TRUCKS::GREAT_BRITAIN note 903.20 proposes cambridge as having a cycles
only bridge over (if I remember rightly) some railway lines (==railroad
tracks)

<<< TRUCKS::DISK$USER72:[NOTES$LIBRARY]GREAT_BRITAIN.NOTE;2 >>>
-< The Great Britain Conference >-
It is in Cambridge. It was built about two years ago and won various
awards. It spans a whole load of railway tracks just by the station
and some roads and relieved a very congested road bridge of all the
wretched cyclists. Until you've driven or walked in Cambridge you
haven't lived, or met a bike.
The trick is that this is purely a cycle bridge - no footpath or
road.
