After facing a few near-death experiences commuting on my bicycle in London, I traveled to Copenhagen to experience the world's best bicycle friendly city. What a difference! I decided to rent a bicycle and experience Copenhagen like a local. I had no idea where I was going which was the fun part because it felt so safe anyway. I cycled and cycled, cycling paths everywhere. Even the beach had a very lovely path. Wow, freedom.

​

I ended up in a very neat cycling path that took me through a bridge built just for bicycles known as the Cykelslangen(Cycle Snake). What a joy, I was in a bicycle world, traffic free zone. Bicycles here, there, everywhere. Families on bicycles, kids on bicycles, parents taking their kids on wagons attached on their bicycles. What's not to love? A cycling nation built on freedom.

​

The bicycle infrastructure in Copenhagen is remarkable. In Copenhagen, they have 1) the traffic lane, 2) the bicycle lane(few inches higher above street level) and 3) the pedestrian sidewalk. Genius! I wish we had these in London. I did not have to worry about cars coming after me and getting hit by the bus or lorries. Well done, Copenhagen. Interesting how the way a city is built really contributes to the mood and safety of the people.

​

Enough about bicycles? Ok! Experienced Copenhagen on a boat too which was another fresh prespective. Probably would have missed some nice sights without it.
