Bikes, Copenhagen and Disneyland
Bikes, Copenhagen and Disneyland: what we have in common.
Steve Hymos is a blogger over at the LA times. He interviewed blogesphere celebrity (in the cycle-chicness world) Mikael Colville-Andersen -aka- Zakkaliciousness in Flickrland and his series of Cycle Chic blogs from Copenhagen (links posted @story link) whom, has inspired a myriad of blogs, Flickr™ groups and people around the globe to ride a bike, relax and look good while at it. Mind you, Copenhagen & Europe are quite different in traffic structure than here in the US, but we can still look good trying, right?

He notes an interesting history facts from both cities, Los Angeles and Copenhagen.
"There is no part of the world where cycling is in greater favor than in Southern California, and nowhere on the American continent are conditions so favorable the year round for wheeling. -It's from a 1897 newspaper article, back during Bicycle Culture 1.0 and back when 20% of all trips were made by bike in Los Angeles. Impressive stats and an impressive cycling history in L.A."
Hundreds of thousands of cyclists on the roads. Ironically, the world's most impressive separated bike path was built to connect Pasadena to Los Angeles in 1900. At that time 20% of all trips where made by bicycle in the Los Angeles region so the construction of the eight-mile Arroyo Seco Cycleway -- an elevated, multilane, wooden bike path, complete with streetlights and gazebo turnouts -– was a given.
Copenhagen was a congested, polluted city in the 1960s and more and more cars were being bought.
Now, 40-odd years on, a progressive network of separated bicycle lanes blankets the city. Doctors, students, parents with kids in a cargo bike, lawyers and shop assistants are all apart of a pleasingly aesthetic flow of human-powered goodness. Fifty-six percent of Copenhageners say that they ride their bikes because it's easy and fast.
Bicycles are normalized transport vehicles and they are the lifeblood of the city, not the domain of impenetrable subcultures with political leanings. With my Copenhagen Cycle Chic blog I try to show how my fellow citizens ride each day. In style, with ease and every day of the week.

Cartoons blamed for a week of Danish riots
A wave of vandalism and rioting has continued across Denmark for a week, leading to 13 arrests for torching schools, cars and rubbish bins. The unrest has been centered mostly in immigrant neighbourhoods through Copenhagen and across Denmark. Though nothing has been made official, "some say youths from Denmark's immigrant communities were protesting against perceived police harassment, and suggested Wednesday's reprinting of a cartoon lampooning Mohammed may have aggravated the situation."
Most of the rioters are under the age of 18, so officials are slightly stumped as to what the exact reason is for the unrest, though many people reportedly think that part of the reason is that these kids are just bored. But really, does boredom lead to a week of rioting?? A wave of vandalism and rioting has continued across Denmark for a week, leading to 13 arrests for torching schools, cars and rubbish ... more -

Bicycles overtake Cars in Copenhagen
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.

Christiania
Located in Copenhagen, Denmark, Christiania is one of the most unique neighborhoods in all of Europe. Artists, academics and vagabonds began squatting in the abandoned Danish military base in 1971. Recognized as a culturally alive and free-thinking oasis, the commune has also felt pressure from the Danish government, which seemingly would like to shut Christiania down.
