Copenhagen Cycling Quiz – Bike Bridges and Cycle Superhighways

Copenhagen is famous for cycling, with a large share of residents riding to work and school each day. Wide, separated bike lanes and clear rules make riding feel safe in all seasons.

Bridges built for bikes and walkers link parts of the harbor, including Bryggebroen in 2006 and the Inner Harbour Bridge in 2016. Cykelslangen, the orange Bicycle Snake, lifts riders above a busy waterfront.

Green wave traffic lights let cyclists ride steadily through junctions, and footrests and tilted trash bins add small comforts. Cycle superhighways reach the suburbs, and cargo bikes carry kids and groceries. Visitors can rent bikes easily and join the flow of local riders.
