We call it the San Jose Bike Party they call it the Copenhagen Bicycle Parade - and it happens every day

October 26, 2009 - 3:56pm -- Carlos

In this video from 1937 Copenhagen we can see why the Danes are such avid cyclists; a beautiful city, ample bike ways, and the lack of roadways designed only for cars, make this Danish capital a cyclist's wonderland. Bikes appear to outnumber cars by 30:1! Skip to 6:10 on the slider to witness the Copenhagen daily bike party.

Don't forget. Mikael Colville-Andersen will be speaking in San Francisco this week. Colville-Andersen is the producer of Copenhagen Cycle Chic, a blog dedicated to bringing cycling to everyone; without the need for bright colors, spandex or fancy bikes. Check the calendar for details.
