    • Cool!

    • sure… and in the s-train as well

    • Nice! I would like see even one tenth of Copenhagen bicycle infrastructure here in Moscow. I live in city that mostly hates bikes. Cars, big SUVs rule this place :(

    • yes, it is very nice,fun, and good for your health and the environment. if i was overthere i would ride my bike everywhere i go, however, i live in ft.lauderdale,fl and the weather is HORRIBLE and HUMID and the streets are not safe for cyclist. If I live in seattle or new york then it would be a different story.

    • I also live in denmark and i havent really liked going by car, i like to cycle, it makes you fresh, and sometimes i´ll take my skateboard and skate around, but not so often, its harder and slower but its a nice feeling. i live in a little town there is like 1/10th of copenhagen but there is just as many bikes.

    • i lived there for 6months
      i loved that and i miss that so much
      we should use more bikes in budapest, and have much more bikeroads

    • No, their cameraman didn’t shoot Copenhagen’s fat cyclists. They exist, too. Also, he didn’t show you that most Copenhageners use only rudimentary bike locks and many don’t lock their bikes at all. I was told that thefts do occur but are not rampant. That’s the best sign imaginable of a bike culture.

    • Those couriers aren’t allowed to ride faster than 30 km/h or they risk a speeding fine just like the kids who tune their mopeds (defined as a bicycle with a helping engine in Denmark).

    • Welcome to China …. scrap the bikes, i´m keeping my V8 :)

    • Well there isnt that many really fat cyclists, but thats probably because the chances of getting really fat if you ride your bike every day is pretty slim ;)

    • a nation of fat lazy obese people sipping gatorade loaded with Highfructosecornsyrup

    • I think DSB should decrease the price for Bike tickets and clipkards for S trains.

    • V8 engines are for lame ducks the tough guys ride not just sit

    • I still managed to achieve that :D

    • @naftush
      Well, in 10 months i lived in CPH, i got 7(!) bikes stolen from me. 4 of them were locked, and 3 were in undrivable condition (broken wheels, punctured tires etc.), so… you have to look out for your bike.

    • …and she gets her great ass …from it ;-)

    • No bicycles thieves?

    • Thank you for sharing these videos.
      Could you put them all together into one video?
      Videos can be longer than 6-7 minutes.

    • The Wright “fixie” looks like it has a coaster brake.

    • @pobanmanu now you can take your bike free in trains and metro, but dogs still pay :)

    • @zelands I ll second that. I have had the similar experiences. I have recently got my 7th bike and finally I dont feel like I am missing my third bike(which I believed to be the best bike ever to exist on our multiverse). Hope it will stay with me for a notable amount of time.

    • In my city we have only ~200m of bicycle roads. May be just for fun. And cycling on own risk with cars, from summer to winter, from +40C to -35C.

      For a day I usually see from 20 to 40 bicyclists. Funny? Sadly as a whole, but each time pleasantly in particular.

      Your city and it’s life style just a dream for me!)

    • I love the hot blonde at the end, riding off into the sunset. She looks like the model, Caprice! Does anyone have her phone number?

    • Toronto Mayor Rob Ford: Watch this vid, make Toronto bike friendly

    • I love living in Copenhagen and the beauty about all these bike lanes… they work for skaters too… Copenhagen best bike and skater city in the world
