"The new government has announced that it will integrate green
policies as a main element of their administration in order to make
Copenhagen even more bicycle friendly."

That's the kind of people we need in power. The SUV sends the wrong
message.
"Copenhagen, Copenhagen" everywhere. They deserve it. They are
paradise, close to Nirvana...
"It’s great to see 'wonderful' Copenhagen recognised as the world's
cycling paradise. It’s something that we’ve known all along and have
been lucky to experience firsthand."
Once the important people do it, the other people follow. Remember,
MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO. Seeing no people in our cities is sad. We are
sad and we don't even know why.
Here's a list of the saddest cities in America...

We must analyze now why NYC is sad. Number 39 is pretty low for a city
with public transportation and walking space. That's beyond me.
Sometimes I wish for a city with no people rather than unfriendly
people though. Time for some collective wisdom. I think Key West is a
friendly place. Or perhaps a place with homeless, litter and no green
is sad. Are Gated Communities sad or happy? You'll be lucky if you can
ride a bike for 5 minutes.
Whether civilization or jungle dominates the urban landscape is up to
the elites. Gated Communities are not the answer. When you can't ride
a bicycle or walk because of fear or lack of space, you know the
monkeys are sad. The people are optional.
"HAPPINESS IS RIDING A BIKE" says the Wise TibetanMonkey.
(I quote)
"I have a confession: I can’t ride a bike. In Denmark this is really
embarrassing, since in Copenhagen, one person in three commutes by
bike to work or school every day.
In my defense for this crime and (my other crime of being a driver of
a car in Denmark) – I have to say that in the US, we do not have a
bicycle culture, many kids do not ride bikes, there are few to no bike
paths in most neighborhoods and we were happy if we had a sidewalk we
could walk on. (While drivers whizzed by with a quick look of pity-
since people who walked were normally considered homeless)."
