all those women riding about, no lycra, daggy bikes.

Not cyclists, no way!

Never happen in Oz. Can't have people riding daggy bicycles just for
transport.


Note the lack of hills, the traffic congestion, the lack of parking, that
Copenhagen is a couple of square kilometres in area and the fact that the
riders are wearing overcoats and ugg boots.

In Sydney the fact that corporate workers are expected to where black
woollen suits in 40C heat does make it more difficult but you do see people
riding around inner city areas in street clothes. Mountain bikes are so
much cheaper and popular here so they ride those.
