Pam and I have been caught up in the Copenhagen rush hour. If you don't know where you are going - like us tourists - you can't stop to figure it out. It is the first time ever that we had to worry about bikes behind us and not cars. When we got back to Madison we kept asking each other where the bikes were here.
The average commute bike speed is 13 mph (20 kph). It is orderly and there is very little passing. No one has to be a hotdog and go faster. Everyone wore street or work clothes - including women in long dresses. Their rear wheel had a skirt guard. Pam accused me of taking too many pictures of Women on bikes... Some fellow bikers who were with us got freaked out by the number of bikes and opted for walking instead of biking. The core of the city is restricted to pedestrians.
