Copenhagenize.com - The Copenhagen Bike Culture Blog: 200 Lousy Bicycles For UN Climate Conference

The world is coming to Copenhagen in December for the UN COP15 Climate Conference. The media focus is intensifying the closer we get.

About a year ago I wrote a letter to various parties suggesting some good ideas about how Copenhagen and Denmark could profile themselves when the world comes to town. One of the ideas was to provide bicycles for the delegates who will be arriving from all over the planet. Making bicycles available to them, free to use, in order to show them how the bicycle is the ultimate symbol of sustainability and quick and easy transport in the Danish capital. My idea also included recruiting iconic Danish cycling girls to lead pelatons of delegates to and from the conference centre Bellacenter.
