Copenhagen bike city

[marmar]

In Denmark practically everybody rides a bike, and in 2008 bicycle-friendly Copenhagen was named the world's first Bike City by the International Cycling Union, UCI.

1. I moved from Denmark around 5 years ago

and I still look over my shoulder, not my mirror, when I make a right hand turn. Once I went to make a turn, used my mirror and almost hit a dude who was in my blind spot....never again. I even brought bake a bike from there...so much more comfortable than the bikes here

2. Due to circumstances, I didn't have as much time in Copenhagen as I liked, but

I was impressed at the numbers of bikes--and the fact that so many of them were left outside without being locked up and were still there the next day.

3. There is a lock on them,

It's on the bike behind the seat, by the back wheel. It works well, I lost the key to mine, though...Oops

4. I want a cargo bike!
