Well come and try Copenhagen , and you will love to return home ..
Copenhagen is very proud to have exported bicycle commuting technology
to NYC .

Of-cause it is hard to be objective in two text lines , however it is my
impression that Denmark only make bicycle systems for old ladies
commuting to next door.( or young ladies riding like old ladies). If you
are a well trained rider (Man or Woman) who want to commute long
distance, it is my experience it is rather a war than an enjoyment. Not
because of other bicycle riders or traffic , but because of very little
knowledgeable city planers who don't know how to bicycle.
