Nice cycling lanes and impressive statistics, but I don't get the impression that bicycles are as ubiquitous (yet) as they are in Amsterdam.
I wonder how they handle bicycle parking in Copenhagen, because that's a real problem in most Dutch cities. Especially those cargo bikes take a lot of space.
- kqr2 17y agoThis is a great photo essay on bicycles in Amsterdam: http://www.ski-epic.com/amsterdam_bicycles/ http://www.ski-epic.com/amsterdam_bicycles/
- gjm11 17y agoIt's a bit weird how the short description of just about every photo ends with "... on a bicycle, in Amsterdam" or some close equivalent. Either the author is just completely freaked out that all these things happen OMG ON A BICYCLE IN FREAKING AMSTERDAM, or it's some sort of attempt at SEO, hoping that Google will place this page really highly for people searching for <<<bicycle amsterdam>>>. If it's the latter then it seems to have worked; the page is the top organic Google result for those words, at least for me at the moment. I do hope that isn't because of the clunkily repetititititive writing style.
- Retric 17y agoBikes take up less space than cars. So parking garages for bikes should be far less expensive to build.
- thirdusername 17y agoStealing an image from the other person replying to you it pretty much looks just like this: http://www.ski-epic.com/amsterdam_bicycles/pm3s_amsterdam_bicycles.jpg http://www.ski-epic.com/amsterdam_bicycles/pm3s_amsterdam_bi... in many places. Block after block with bicycles although there is room on the sidewalk for people to at least in the parts I've been in. The most frustrating thing about Copenhagen is all the bicycle repair shops take up the business locations that should be small food places. :P
