The Danish capital was endeavouring to be pronounced the world’s best city for cyclists in 2015. The bicycle is already considered to be the obvious means of transport by most Copenhageners because the city council has made a concerted effort to improve the infrastructure, safety and parking facilities for cyclists.

- every day 37% of everybody in Copenhagen arrives at work or education by bicycle.
- 25% of all families with two kids in the city own a cargo bike.
- the 519,000 inner city copenhageners own 560,000 bicycles!

Many people have written about the Green Wave bicycle lane in Copenhagen but few have actually documented it.

This is a long section of it, filmed from a bike. The film doesnt cover the way to the city centre but has instead a sequence of the morning bicycle rush hour. The ride started about 08:15 AM. 08:30-09:00 AM seems to be peak hours, although the flow never really stops.

Thanks to Mayor Bondam.
