Bicycle Week - Day 4

The biking culture of Copenhagen is not related to environmental reasons (when surveyed only 1% say they bike for environmental reasons). Since the 1960's the city would take away a few hundred parking spaces away each year so that it made it harder and harder to find parking. This encouraged people to find a more convenient form of transportation thus creating this strong biking community.

Funny bike that the rider sits on a strap that goes from the handlebars to the back. There is a small leather seat near the back of the strap . . . i have not tried to ride one.
