A closer look
If cars are the apex predators of American roads, bicycles are the tyrannical overlords of Denmark. Copenhagen has aggressively prioritized two-wheeled transport for decades, leading to a sprawling network of elevated cycle tracks and bike-specific traffic lights. The result? There are roughly five bikes for every four humans in the city center. Trying to cross a bike lane as a pedestrian there is essentially a high-stakes game of Frogger against an army of attractive people in tailored coats.
