Lots of bikes. Cobbles. Brick buildings. Old. New. Canals.
The first impressions of Copenhagen – a city which seems to move along in a relaxed but very purposeful fashion. Apparently 70% of Danish households don’t own a car. Cyclists are everywhere, usually moving at speed. Most don’t wear helmets and ride very confidently along the wide cycle lanes. Bikes are parked with both abandon and purpose it seems, all shapes and sizes, carrying kids and shopping and occasionally you see a pile-up of unattended bikes. Copenhagen has an ambitious goal to be the world’s first CO2 neutral capital so this mode of transport is critical. Cycles and cars have equal rights so one must take care to look out for oncoming bikes from the right! Link to photo series – Bicycles of Copenhagen
