As a result of half a century of planning, Copenhagen has achieved a fabulous cycling goal - during the morning rush hour more bikes and mopeds pound the inner city streets than personal cars and buses. Just a bit more than a third of inhabitants get to work by bike every day - the other two thirds take public transport or a personal car. But the news gets even better - Copenhagen's municipal government is increasing spending to improve bike lanes and paths and the bike travel experience.

This is a trend that needs to be reflected and respected in other cities as well. It is an important concept in reducing traffic, congestion, accidents, and even promotes a healthier lifestyle. I hope some cities in the US can start using this idea as well.-
