This is a World Premiere: the City of Copenhaguen is working on bicyles commuter superhighways to link the city center to the outskirts by bike!
In a city where 55% of the population is using bike as car is used in the USA, no wonder the idea came out! Soon then, the city will be equipped with 13 bike highways going up to a perimeter of 15kms from the city center. Those highways will offer the same amenities than the traditional ones, like rest areas and stations to have your tyres in good shape! Currently, 15000 bikers are the core target group, but 85000 commuters currently using the train, car or bus might be of interest to!
