Copenhagenize.com - Bicycle Culture by Design: Elderly Mobility

While we have many elderly cyclists in Copenhagen, there are those who find themselves less mobile than they’d like - including some who are not yet elderly - but they are still happily mobile in the streets of Copenhagen.

These electric wonders come in a vast variety of designs and they are allowed to use the existing bike lane infrastructure. Or on stretches without, they zip their way through the traffic like other vehicles, like the photo at the top.
