<\/a><\/p>\n The photos to follow give you a taste of this great bicycle city. From dogs on bikes to bikes on bikes, from bikes in ice to bike counters, enjoy these great bicycle photos.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Greater Copenhagen area<\/a> has about 500,000<\/strong> people bicycling everyday. Approximately 55% of all trips and 37% of commuter trips (to work or school) are by bicycle. This city has to be an option when choosing the best bicycle city in the world. You can get a feel for the atmosphere<\/strong> of this city from the photos below, but to really experience it, maybe visit the city and promote a strong international commitment to address climate change at the upcoming climate conference<\/strong> in December!<\/p>\n If you missed the previous bicycle photo tours, they were #5 Paris (France)<\/a>, #6 Groningen (the Netherlands)<\/a>, #7 Berlin (Germany)<\/a>, #8 Barcelona (Spain)<\/a>, #9 Bogota (Columbia)<\/a>, and #10 Basel (Switzerland)<\/a>.<\/p>\n For a review of some of the environmental reasons why this bicycle photo tour is on EcoWorldly<\/a> (as well as some health and wellness reasons), read the intro to the Barcelona bicycle city photo tour<\/a>. <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Check out more Copenhagen bike pics on the following pages:<\/p>\n Image Credit 1: Negu. | Alberto Rey via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Image Credit 1: gargola87 via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Image Credit 1: Spacing Magazine via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Image Credit 1: Stig Nygaard via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This last one also fits on the kids on bikes page.<\/p>\n Image Credit 1: malouette via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Image Credit 1: jack_g via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Image Credit 1: James Cridland via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Copenhagen has a very successful 2nd generation bicycle sharing program, where you can borrow a bike by putting a cash deposit in where the bike is locked and you get the deposit back when you return the bike. Although not as sophisticated as Paris<\/strong><\/a> or Barcelona<\/strong><\/a>‘s 3rd generation bicycle sharing programs<\/a>, this is a good one as well.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Image Credit 1: norrebrograde via flickr under<\/a> a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n The bikeway here is right next to the rails. Not sure how that would be, but would like to try it myself.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Trains all over Europe have bike cars, but nice to see such a big bike symbol painted on the car here — easier to see when the train is rolling up.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Image Credit 1: hdport via flickr<\/a> under a Creative Commons license <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For more bike art, art on bikes, and interesting pictures, check out the #10 Basel<\/strong><\/a>, #9 Bogota<\/strong><\/a>, #8 Barcelona<\/strong><\/a>, #7 Berlin<\/strong><\/a>, #6 Groningen<\/strong><\/a>, and #5 Paris<\/strong><\/a> great bicycle city photo tours.<\/p>\n Copenhagen might have been higher on the list, but the pictures were not the most<\/strong> spectacular in my opinion. Hope you enjoyed these, but if you missed the others, I encourage you to check those out, too. Copenhagen might have been closer to #10 on the list if I didn’t consider it to be the best or second best large bicycle city in the world.<\/p>\n Also, I can tell you that the top three bicycle photo tours will have some amazing bike photos really worth seeing, from three different continents and completely different styles.<\/p>\n So, to keep yourself updated on the next three photo tours, keep your eye on EcoWorldly<\/strong><\/a> or subscribe to its feed or email<\/a> list.
