Copenhagen Rush Hour

Copenhagen Rush Hour by [Zakkalicious / Mikael].

I'm shooting a film about Copenhagen's bike culture at the moment and took some stills while I was at it.

The morning rush hour. 30,000 bikes pass this point each day.

Every time I look at your pictures I get more and more jealous. How I would love to live somewhere like this, a place that bicycling is a way of life. And your pictures are so expressive of this.

thanks robert... i think envious is a better word than jealous... :-)

currently on a local cycling coalition newsletter on the web we are having a discussion about speed and imposed speed limits in some cities on their trails/lanes/paths. Is there a speed limit on the cycling lanes in Copenhagen or does the sheer number of cyclists keep the speed reasonable ?

Wonderful image, great capture! Different from Edmonton, where I feel like a lonely wolf (or bear) on the street with my bike :-)

thanks, everyone.

regarding speed limits: i believe - but i'm not sure - that the speed limit for bike lanes is 40 kph. But that is just symbolic. Nobody goes that fast. The average speed for cyclists in Copenhagen is 15 kph. On some streets we have a green wave for cyclists - if you ride 20 kph you'll hit green lights all the way.

cyclists here aren't sport freaks... they're just going to work or school... so speed isn't really a factor.

we are planning on following the lead of dozens of other European cities and lowering the speed limit for cars in the city centre - from 50 down to 30 or 40.
