Ach. We are going to Copenhagen for a few days, so I'll be curious to see this wonderful cycling-steeped city.

But my gut feel tells me powerfully that at least for cycling advocacy, things in certain big North American cities needs to be handled differently to encourage more people to cycle, not to be overly reliant on car for short trips, etc. Our population demographics are different for certain cities (big time in certain groups), marketing of cycling as viable transportation has to be done abit differently and of course, the basic bone structure of a city layout would offer different solutions that could be borrowed in parts from Copenhagen, but never completely.
