Took me awhile to pull this together. But I did learn some stuff there-- cycling-wise!

So here's the little blog post (http://thirdwavecyclingblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/losing-my-cycling-identity-in-the-world%e2%80%99s-cycling-nirvana-copenhagen/)and pics...Copenhagen chic, cargo bikes, the bike museum exhibit, etc.

I know, some unexpected analogies in the write-up.

what a great piece! such a different culture than my small town where people waggle fingers at you for riding your bike on quiet country roads!

great write- up. I really enjoyed seeing how "the other half" lives. I wish I could live in a place like that one day. 36% ride their bike to school or work and 60% ride daily??? WOW!:eek: Compare that with the 0.1% that do it in my town and that's inspiring!

Fascinating. I would love to visit there. I'm glad you got to learn some history.

Though my partner had already visited Copenhagen 2 yrs. ago and I heard abit about it, I was abit unprepared for the experience. (or maybe I don't listen enough to him. Terrible me. Our lifestyle is very cycling dominant..that after awhile, you know what I mean...)

It's one thing to read about cycling intensive cities, but it's another thing to be in the midst of the cycling whirlwind action all over the place --daily. :o

Nice! It's hard to imagine that many cyclists in one place at the same time.

We have a few posties who deliver on bikes around here, it's lovely to see.
