Municipality of Copenhagen
The City with Innovative Cycling Solutions
For Copenhageners, cycling is as natural as brushing their teeth. Very few Copenhageners regard themselves as ”cyclists.” Most see themselves merely as citizens who transport themselves from A to B, using the fastest and most flexible mode of transport, which the bicycle just happens to be in most cases.
Copenhagen illustrates that cycling can become a modern metropolis’ preferred mode of transport. This has been achieved, not least, because the bicycle – whether it is used for commuting, going to the beach or the bakery, or for bringing the kids to kindergarten – is a key component for urban planning in Copenhagen.
Get a first-hand experience with Copenhagen bicycling culture in June 2010. Copenhagen will be the host city of Velo-city Global 2010, a conference that focuses on the potential and challenges of bicycling, and which is expected to attract participants from all over the world.
