Metro Bicycle Parking

Bike Parking at Metro Station
All the underground stations on the new Copenhagen Metro have bike parking rooms. I never use them myself but the few times I've peeked inside...
Bike Parking Metro
... there is always loads of room. There is a bar on each wall, but bikes are just leanding on their kickstands. The Metro is brilliant but it doesn't go many places outside of cycle range - the red local trains transport you farther out into the suburbs - so there isn't that much use for the parking rooms I suppose.

The Metro was voted as the World's Best a couple of years ago and is quite cool. The URL is nice, too. www.m.dk.

I love and am fascinated by bicycle infrastructure and what it takes to create a bike friendly community, It's what I am trying to advocate in my corner of the world (www.cyclesanjuanislands.com).

Our neighbouring city Victoria, BC is becoming more and more a bike friendly community as is somewhat evident here (http://tinyurl.com/7nyaqd). Still more to do but it's exciting to witness.
