The bikeway here is right next to the rails. Not sure how that would be, but would like to try it myself.
Trains all over Europe have bike cars, but nice to see such a big bike symbol painted on the car here — easier to see when the train is rolling up.

About Zachary ShahanIf you couldn't guess, I spend most of my time on CleanTechnica and Planetsave. I'm the director/editor of both sites and am a little obsessed with them and the topics they cover. I'm also Publishing Services Manager at Important Media, which means that I do everything I can to support other Important Media writers, editors, and directors (as well as the network as a whole) in the good work they are engaged in. You can also find my work on Scientific American, Reuters, Change.org, most of the sites in the Important Media network, & many other places. For more, or to connect, go to: zacharyshahan.com

[...] Copenhagen and Amsterdam are quite widely considered to be the best large cities for bicycling in the world — which one is better depends on who you ask, but you’re unlikely to find someone who will tell you another large city is better. I’ve only been to Amsterdam (and that was 4 years ago), so I can’t judge just yet. Basically, though, if there’s such a thing as bicycle heaven, it probably looks something like on of these cities (or Groningen, which was a league ahead of Amsterdam in my eyes, but since its population is under 200,000 and it’s not a “global city,” it’s not often considered for the world title).

love seeing people caring about the environment.
I love going out to ride my bicycle and feel the sun and the wind in my face. That is the perfect life.
My favorite city bike tour ever was in Berlin 6 years ago. Sounds like I need to add Copenhagen to my list!
