COPENHAGEN – THE HAPPY CAPITAL

'Like a lot of Copenhageners, I expect, I feel happiest on my bike. It's such a privilege to live in a city where you can cycle wherever you need to go. I know lots of people outside of Copenhagen know we have a bike culture, but I still think they would be surprised by the sheer numbers of people who commute by bike. It's one reason why I think Copenhageners really love their city. I think we appreciate how urban design makes our lives easier – and happier.'
