Whats up /n/authists! What is Copenhagen doing right? Pic related.

they have a blend of moderate density, flat geography, and mild temperate weather that makes it easy for them to increase mode share of cycling with minimal investment

The thought of riding that bicycle path scares me.

Does Copenhagen even get snow every year? Even if it gets snow all you'd need is long sleeved jacked and some tights.

Of course, gubement addict citizens so they don't have money to pay compulsory liability insurance. Now form 6 hour country become 2 hour country for conquer. Next step of master plan is registration of bicycles and forced implantation of RFID chips.

Protips:
>having a high modal share in biking does NOT reduce car traffic
>Copenhagen has 42% use of automobiles, that's A LOT for a small city
>Copenhagen has more car use than Barcelona, which is a city made for cars.
>Only public transit actually lowers auto use
>OPs graph shows that rising bike use barely affect autombile use (between 1995 and 2005 auto use goes UP as well as bike use)

COPENHAGEN IS A MEME

prove me wrong, lycrafags

>>1029463
Oh and I forgot
>most bike users weren't previously car users but rode public transit or went by foot

>>1029463
>prove me wrong, lycrafags

You will have a hard time finding anyone except bike messengers wearing lycra in Copenhagen. Or any other city where a lot of people bike.

Cold is easy to deal with by bundling up a little. Rain sucks more than snow, but still not too terrible to deal with except for freezing rain. That shit sucks. The big weather feature that Copenhagen has is that it never gets hot, so you won't break a sweat riding to work. That's the main problem that most people have with cycling, aside from death by cage.

But the best part about city riding is fighting cagers

Depends on how windy it is. I've been very cold in Copenhagen despite being bundled up.

Copenhagen is a nice city for cycling. I think one of the things i like most, is the mentality towards cyclists. Everyone has bike back home that is being ridden in some way, even all the cagers, so everyone knows whats its like to be a cyclist. Of course taxi drivers hate cyclists, but in general, I think theres not much hate.

The city is also very flat, so there are practically no hills to make you struggle.

Weather is 20-25 degrees C in the summer, and -5 to 5 in the winter, so no extremes, but enough for a little snow and heat to make you sweat.

I would like to see similar data for Amsterdam, I get the impression that a lot more people cycle, when i go there.

And I got baited. Good day to you sir.

>>1029592
