There is, of course, extensive bike parking at all the beaches in Copenhagen but the new[ish] Amager Strandpark features literally thousands and thousands of racks, since the Beach Park is a magnet for city dwellers. These racks are filled to overflowing with bikes on a hot summer's day.

 

While we like the fact that our City Bikes [Bycyklen] have inspired cities all over the world to start bike sharing programmes, it is really only tourists who use them.

Copenhageners have their own bikes already, so they don't need these. In Paris, par example, they don't have their own so they need their cool Velibs. Although bike sales are rising dramatically in Paris since the introduction of the Velib.

 

Classic Copenhagen set up for families with two kids.
 

Peaceful coexistence.
