Thread: Oh to live in... Copenhagen
Started 1 month, 1 week ago by cdaly_
Just back from a trip to Copenhagen. Wow! Bikes everywhere! Cycle lanes all over, priority over cars, cycle racks on every commuter/intercity train! Got a set of Magnetic Induction Lights to bring home. They're on about 60% of bikes there. Really cool and all. All sorts of interesting bikes, ordinary commuters, trailer bikes, cargo bikes, kid box bikes. Oh, no hills kinda helps. ...

And please before somebody says it, no all the streets here in Dublin are not far smaller than Copenhagen. Just even forgetting about cycling (god forbid on the cycling forum!), look at Copenhagen's many massively wide pedestrian crossing vs Dublin's tiny crossings.

I've also heard that Denmark (and Copenhagen in particular) has a very positive balance-of-totty. During the last ten years they have managed to sustain growth in hotness without reliance on Eastern Europe imports, and should be able to ride out the recession without a flight of quality assets leading to depressing increases in average BMI values...
