Copenhagenization in the Danish Capital
CNN´s Richard Quest explores Copenhagen as one of the world's "Future Cities" and tests out its bicycle-friendly streets
"Bikes are the heart of Copenhagen", says one resident of Copenhagen in the progamme. "Biking is part of our everyday life", "it´s the way we get around", says another.
CNN´s Richard Quest explains the popularity of biking in the Danish capital and in Denmark altogether: "They are so good at making their city bicycle friendly that it´s given the world a new word: Copenhagenization"
However, as cycling becomes increasingly popular, bike congestion rather than car congestion makes it necessary to redesign the streets of Copenhagen to retain cyckling as the standard for quick and convenient transportation in the city of bicycles.
