It is the perfect role model for any Government looking to make its city bike-friendly.Īs someone who unashamedly prefers to get behind a steering wheel than handle bars, I found it hard to comprehend that nine out of 10 Danes own a bike and the thought that bikes outnumber cars by more than five to one in Copenhagen seemed crazy.īut after four days in Denmark, spending time in the picturesque town of Kolding before heading over the Great Belt Bridge to Copenhagen, I can see that those statistics stack up. With bike lanes big enough to fit a car through and even footrests specially designed for riders to stop at traffic lights, Denmark could not be more accommodating for cyclists. Rows upon rows of bikes are stacked together along pavements, leaving riders looking hard to find a single bike rack available outside Nørreport Station. With fleets of bikes fizzing through the bustling streets of Copenhagen, it does not take long to realise that cycling is not just a mode of transport but a way of life in the Danish capital.
