“Just this last summer, I was in Copenhagen working on my guidebook. They create basins there where the people leave their bikes that are about two feet below street level. It’s just an incline and then a basin, and everybody leaves their bikes there and they’re out of your sight. It is right there at the station for the trams and the metro, and it’s not accidental. It’s leadership. And it’s a community that is willing to bite the bullet and commit themselves to a pedestrian-friendly core. ”
