This bridge serves as a shortcut for cyclists and offers a striking view of the waterfront. It gently snakes along, just as the name suggests. Its gently curving design prevents anyone from going too fast, so everyone can cruise safely.For longer journeys, many Cycle Superhighways that connect Copenhagen with surrounding communities have been built. These are designed to encourage suburban residents to commute to work or school by bike. According to residents, they are an absolute pleasure to use. There are some routes that pass through a forest. “You can enjoy the peacefulness of the forest as you commute,” says one user approvingly.All these bike routes have transformed Copenhagen into a cyclist’s paradise. No wonder more and more motorists are saying, “I should have left the car at home!” (145 words)Surprisingly, Copenhagen’s urban planners once used to favor cars over other forms of transportation. The oil crisis of the 1970s led them to revise their transportation systems so that they would not have to rely on oil. Since then, the city has been installing cycling infrastructure such as the Green Wave and the Bicycle Snake. As a result, it’s now quicker to go downtown by bicycle than by car. That has led more people to cycle instead of driving.Making cities healthier and more attractive by adopting bike-friendly policies has come to be known as “Copenhagenization.” Even New York is following Copenhagen’s example. It has started locating car parking spaces in the middle of the street. That approach is called the “Protected Bicycle Lane” policy and it prevents vehicles from entering or parking in the bike lane. Consequently, bicycle traffic has increased 1.6 times. Moreover, there are fewer accidents. Many other cities may well “Copenhagenize” as they seek to build more sustainable, livable communities. The Copenhagen model is changing the world for the better.
