1. The country of Denmark is actually an archipelago or island group. It is comprised of over 100 islands, but not all of them are inhabited.
2. The Citizens of Copenhagen pedal a combined 1 million kilometers per day. This isn’t so surprising when you take into account the fact that Denmark has twice as many bicycles as automobiles. This fact may also be related to the fact that Denmark charges a 150% tax on all purchases of new cars.
3. Although there are no designated bicycle lanes in Denmark, there are special elevated roadways dedicated solely to bicycle usage. Another plus for bicyclists in Denmark is the lack of hills. The highest point in Denmark is only 170 meters or 557 feet high.
