As someone who's cycled around Copenhagen I have to say biking there is not just easy due to flatness but also very enjoyable. Wide biking lanes, long straight stretches without signposts in the way, cars paying due respect to bikers, place to put the bike after use, showers at work etc. etc. The experience is much much better than every other city I've been to.
Sadly I don't see this transferring to other countries any time soon. Infra was built for the car and a cyclist is often a 2nd grade participant. All the steep inclinations in cities also don't help. CPH is really flat. My hometown has so many hills a lot of people (especially elderly) are not fit to even climb them. It's also really hard to drive at decent speed on narrow lanes built as an afterthought next to the main road. Things are changing though so at least biking is doable despite many downsides.
