bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. usa need to learn from this cities
2. what about sweat,cycling is not sweat free activity..
3. Is it possible to upload the same video without the timelapse effect?
4. Screw you cars, you wait! :D
5. When is rush hour in Copenhagen ?
6. its an old video, the lanes are much wider now :)
7. Danish people nor Dutch people need helmets on their bicycles and neither does anyone else. I might make an exception if you recently had head surgery where the surgeons opened up your skull, or someone else cracked it, and you need a helmet so as if you bump a lightpole you will not get hurt, but really you do not need a helmet for ordinary upright cycling like the people in this videos show. I remind people that Copenhagen has 25% of the population on bikes which while very impressive, is not as many as even the very ordinary cities in the Netherlands. Groningen has more than 50% of people on their bicycles, in Amsterdam it is more than 60% inside the city ring road and even Rotterdam which is probably the most car friendly city in the Netherlands has 27% on their bikes, more than Copenhagen. Cycling is also more efficient and safe in the Netherlands than Copenhagen, mainly as a result of more higher quality infrastructure, grade separating large roads, having separate traffic light stages and using the protected intersection concept or simultaneous green, another very good way to allow left turns very easily. You can turn right on red in many cases, you can bypass T-intersections, sometimes even making left turns on red lights because of the nature of bidirectional paths. You feel far safer in the Netherlands than Copenhagen, with things like medians between cycle track and roadway, much less cars mixing with motor traffic on busier roads and 30 km/h residential streets that are even better than Copenhagen. Try The Netherlands, rather than Copenhagen, though the latter is a good place to quote that a cycle culture can exist in the winter too. Stockholm also is a good example where many people are cycling even in the winter.
8. That´s the hot point for all cities at the world! Using bikes for transport and health! Less polution. Better for people, economy and time that  was lost like a trash. Our hour costs money and health! Think about! Campai for all! When we are in a bike, the natures comes closes! Octane when it´s necessary, only!
9. Hey.. der bor jeg. 50 meter derfra.
10. Imagine if all these cyclists would decide to take the car instead... Now THAT would create traffic problems.. 
11. And why is that one might ask?:)
12. Amsterdam vs. Copenhagen A preliminary comparison of accessible comparable data shows that Amsterdam is ahead of Copenhagen in several areas although Copenhagen is coming close. * Cycling levels are equally high in the two capitals (29 % of all trips, 2008) but levels drop outside the city proper in Copenhagen whereas they stay high throughout the region around Amsterdam.
13. In approximately 5 minutes it takes you to wait for the train, a (resonably fit) cyclicst travelling at around 30km/h would have a 3km headstart.
14. Copenhagen looks beautiful!
15. What's the Music? Very nice! 
16. amazing that hardly any of them feel the need for helmets...here in the USA the "wear a helmet or youre an idiot" mentality pervades, but this is evidence to the contrary that one needs a helmet to be/feel/ride safely, even in high traffic or bad weather.
17. Copenhagen working hard, to build bigger and safer bike lanes in the city... CPH even closing roads from cars...
18. See ive heard that ALOT but ive also heard that dutchmen drives like CRAZY and that its not safe for bikers that is just the case why the nehterlands need that amount of infrastructure for bike.
19. Cycling actually constitutes a tiny proportion of commuter miles traveled in Denmark (4.6% when grouped with mopeds and motorcycles) so this issue is much conflated.
20. Europe is nice but would not live there
