Copenhagen: City of Cyclists
Copenhagen: City of Cyclists, Part 1 of 5: Our very first episode of A Billion Bikes, takes us to the Danish city of Copenhagen, which has one of the most advanced urban bicycling communities in the world. A full third of their city workforce commutes by bicycle! This is an excellent 5-part program of weekly episodes. But first, a brief hello from Tour de France champion Floyd Landis, and a fun open.

Copenhagen: City of Cyclists, Part 2 of 5: We meet some of the 100,000 cyclists who've made bicycle commuting a part of their daily lives. You'll also get a sneak peek at a future program from John Urman in Georgetown, Washington DC. Keep an eye out for future greetings from cyclists from every side of life and around the globe.

Copenhagen: City of Cyclists, Part 3 of 5: We're headed downtown to mix it up with traffic in Copenhagen. Get a good look at not only the green cycle routes across the city, but also the curb-protected roadside "cycle tracks", the blue-painted intersection pavement guides, and bicycle-specific traffic lights. What an amazing mix they've accomplished, with not only a third of their commuting population bicycling in each day, but in a system so well thought out that kids and families ride through the city right along with them.
But first, saying a big hello is Bill Mould, Chief Mechanic of Spokes Etc in Alexandria, Virginia. We'll be visiting Bill soon for some helpful coaching to keep your bike spinning strong.

Copenhagen: City of Cyclists, Part 4 of 5: We're invited into the recreational cycling communities of Copenhagen. Kick back, relax and discover the City Bikes program, offering free use of bicycles for locals and tourists alike. For both work and play, this is one amazingly well-considered cycling city.
First up is a quick hello from Andr
