I heard this, too. I think this is a great idea. And I also wish we could have something similar. I've lived in Europe a few times and particularly when I lived in Munich felt fortunate to live somewhere that bicycles were just a part of life and that it was such a seemlessly integrated form of transportation for everyone. I've visited Denmark and I'm not surprised that connecting outlying areas is a priority for them. Copenhagen can have a lot of vehicle congestion and I'm sure this is as much a product of Danish inspiration as it is urban necessity.
The bicycle has done more for the emancipation of women than anything else in the world. ~ Susan B. Anthony
