Copenhagen Bike City

I am still not sure where I will be working, and depending where my internship will be located, I may not need a bike as I live right on the metro line. Regardless, I am fascinated by the sheer volume of bikers here, and the infrastructure that supports them. It is not a hip thing to do, or just for healthy people or hippies. Everyone rides their bike, and that's just the way it is. The one thing that illustrates the fact that its just a way of life and not a conscious "healthy lifestyle" move, I have never seen so many people smoking while biking. One uncited fact: more than 40% of Copenhageners bike to work, and the city hopes to get half of commuters onto bikes by 2015.
