Slow Bicycle Wintertime

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Slow Urban Cycling is alive and well in Copenhagen, even in the winter. 37% of the citizens who commute to work or education choose the bicycle in the Danish capital and even the winter 80% of them continue to do so. Despite freezing temperatures and in one of the wealthiest countries on the planet.

Go slow.
