Copenhagen by bike
/There is a new section of the web site … copenhagen by bike.
Because it’s January, I was doing some basic tidying up and general housekeeping for the blog, and I realised how many posts there have been here about bikes and about biking in the city.
Most of these posts have focused on planning issues - on new bridges for new cycle routes or new street layouts - but it is probably useful to pull all these together in one place so, over the coming weeks, old posts will be copied across to this new and separate section.
Recently, I came across this amazing photograph. It appears to date from the early 20th century and shows a man with a bike, out on the frozen harbour, with the triangular fort in the background. For me, it sums up the Copenhagen attitude to having a bike. Basically, there should be nowhere in the city where you can’t cycle.
And you certainly can’t accuse people here of being just fair-weather cyclists.
