Reasons I Elsker DK (#13)

Reason #13: Bikes! I've been waiting for a good photograph to represent this reason that I love Denmark, and have now accumulated several that I think will get the point across. Given how important biking is to people in Copenhagen, reason I love Denmark #13 (bikes) gets its very own post!
You will see FAR more biking lots than parking lots in central CPH
Another lot closer to DIS.  
This type of bike (or similar ones with an open cart in the front) are very common. They are perfect for transporting children, pets, groceries, christmas trees, and more!
Bikes even have their own train compartment on every S Train!
Rush hour begins!
Bikes ready for pickup! Evan, Ilana and I went by a school just before pickup. Of those there to collect their children, 6 were picking up by bike and only 1 was picking up by car!
No child is too small (or large) to travel in a bike-seat 
And when you don't have a special seat, children can balance very nicely in the front of the bike
Or how about TWO children in the back?
But if that is uncomfortable, try putting one child in back and one child in front!
And what about the next generation of Danish bikers? 
It's never to early to start learning!
Look back for 4 more reasons I <3 DK in the next 24 hours!
