This is a model of how all cities and towns should approach bicycling.

A real form of transport.

In Australia we are full of redneck backward idiots..

Copenhagen benefits from being super flat. There are virtually no hills in the city which makes cycling anywhere ideal.

@KrunchyJD ad the US to the list too.

I live in Puerto Rico and we don't have many bike lanes. We have trails but they are just that trails they are far off from the city.

@musicfan28 Aehh... sadly that's not completely true :(

I Live in copenhagen, and if i don't lock my bike it will get stolen for shure! Lost one just this month! The difference is that you can buy a new one for about 500$ and be right back on track just like that :)

@persebra , As Jesus45u said, he has a quick lock (sometimes called a o-lock or frame lock). I have the same thing on my bike, but still choose to use a u-lock so the front tire and frame are locked to something. Quick locks are great for running into the market for something real quick!

@persebra ,...Yes that's true ..Copenhagen is one of the most safe cities in the world , ppl don t need to lock up their bikes ...coz nobody stole ur bike ...it is a real model for all cities who should learn from the Danish model , in north America unfortubately we have to lock up our bikes if not , somebody will stole it .

[onlokker]

I totally agree with the parking bit, I just can't stand it!

[Jesus45U]

@persebra

At 3:21 he activates the quick lock mechanism.
