Pushing the Flood Gates

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2011 - 0138

True fact: Copenhagen skies mostly hold their rainy breath back during the morning and afternoon rush hours. However, I'm not sure all Copenhagen Cyclists would agree with the stats. And with all the rain we get you can - and will - be caught out from time to time. Above: Soaked to the skin. Below: Prepared for the worst.

Cycling to the Stars

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2015 - 0249

In 2014 Danes broke two decades of cycling stats to reach 3.5 Billion Kilometers. That's easily enough to reach Uranus. Or ride 15 times to Mars. Or go over 8.000 times to the Moon. Its also almost 10% more than Danes biked last year.

Copenhagen is solidly in the lead after cycles have overtaken both cars and public transport as the preferred method of Copenhagen commuting. Over the last 25 years the number of Danes cycling into Copenhagen has doubled.

Dedicated Cycle infrastructure plays a big role in this. Some of the new Super Cycle Highways have been a huge success attracting over 50% more commuters every day.

Weather also makes a difference. 2014 was kind to Danish cyclists. Still the jump is noticible.
