My friend CP took this photo on a recent trip to Copenhagen: a grocery store parking lot, full of bikes. Treehugger reports that bikes and mopeds now outnumber autos and buses during the morning commute in Copenhagen. And it’s listed as the No. 3 most bike-friendly city after Amsterdam and Portland, Oregon. What’s smart is that the city also allows people to “rent” bikes for free—which essentially cuts down on theft, since anyone can access a bike at anytime. New York should take note!
