Kilometres cycled by Copenhageners so far today

Copenhagenize.com started in 2007, highlighting the cycling life in Copenhagen.

40 years ago Copenhagen was just as car-clogged as anywhere else but now 41% of the population arriving at work or education do so on bicycles, from all over the Metro area. 55% of Copenhageners themselves use bicycles each day. They all use over 1000 km of bicycle lanes in Greater Copenhagen for their journeys. Copenhagenizing is possible anywhere.

Copenhagenize.com is run by Copenhagenize Design Co.
