Bicycle planning The City of Copenhagen is continually reassessing what it can do to make the bicycling experience there safer and more convenient. Current plans call for increasing the standard width of bike lanes (by taking it away from roadway right of ways) in order to accomodate the increasing levels of bicycle traffic.

Bicycle designs - 1 These Christiana style tricycles are popular in Copenhagen for people delivering bulky loads. Note - bicycle helmets are NOT required in Denmark, and are rarely used, particularly by adults. Fortunately, the dedicated bike paths, which keep bicycles largely separate from car traffic, makes cycling in Copenhagen much safer than in any comparable city in the U.S. (photo by Jim Mueller, Vulcan) Bicycle designs - 1

Free City Bikes - 1 Copenhagen has a system of free bikes. By inserting a 20 kroner coin (about $3.50) into a slot, the bike is released and can be ridden throughout the downtown core. When the bike is checked in at any one of the dozens of city racks the deposit is refunded. Their weird look and components insures that theft is not a problem.

Free City Bikes - 4 The only downside of the Free City Bike program is that it is so popular that sometimes, especially on warm sunny days, all you can find throughout the city are empty racks. (photo by Jim Mueller, Vulcan) Free City Bikes - 4
