🚴‍♀️ How Copenhagen Became a Cycling Capital 🚗

Once car-dominated, Copenhagen now sees nearly 40% its citizens cycling daily. But how did this transformation happen?

The journey began in the early 20th century, with cycling booming. But post-WWII, cars took over, and cycling hit an all-time low by 1972. 😕

The 1973 oil crisis changed everything. 🌍 With rising fuel costs, Denmark embraced cycling as a sustainable alternative, and activists demanded safer streets. 🚧

Copenhagen listened, adding 240 km of bike lanes in the 1980s and making intersections safer. Cycling surged by 40%, and injuries dropped by 30% in just a decade. 💪

By 2005, a pro-cycling mayor brought cycling to the heart of city planning, making Copenhagen a global model for urban sustainability. 🌆💚

At Green Bike Tours, we’re excited to share this journey with you. Discover how cities can create safe, sustainable streets for all. 🚴‍♂️✨

Nørrebro neighbourhood of Copenhagen is a shining example of how thoughtful urban planning and inclusivity shape a vibrant community. 🌍

Once limited by city ramparts, Nørrebro surged from 10,000 residents in the 1850s to over 100,000 by the early 1900s, becoming one of Copenhagen’s most densely populated areas. Originally it was a working-class area which became a cultural melting pot with waves of immigrants from the 1960s onward.

Amidst its history of social justice battles and urban renewal, Nørrebro now thrives with landmarks like The People’s House and Superkilen Park, which showcase its diverse spirit. Superkilen features objects from over 50 countries, embodying the neighborhood’s global connections.

Nørrebro’s transformation is a testament to how urban planning and inclusivity can create a dynamic, welcoming community. 🌟🏙️

🌞𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬!🍻

Have you ever celebrated the summer solstice? It's a unique time to embrace the longest day of the year, filled with light and festivity!✨

Originally a pagan celebration marking the sun's solstice, Midsummer has transformed into a blend of ancient and Christian traditions in the Nordics, celebrated with rich traditions and joy.💃

Known as 'Sankt Hans Aften' in Denmark, it also marks the birth of St. John the Baptist. The celebration takes place on the evening of June 23rd, by the coast, on lakesides, and in parks all over Denmark.⛪

People gather to light bonfires, often topped with a witch doll, and celebrate throughout the night with songs, drinks, and merriment.🍷(We know bonfires aren’t the greenest practice, but they’re a cherished tradition!)🔥

If you are in Copenhagen, don't miss out on witnessing this unique atmosphere at Refshaleøen, Tivoli, Frederiksberg Have, and the Lakes.🎶

Let’s ward off evil spirits and enjoy the endless daylight together.🪄

Cheers to a joyous and sunny Midsummer!🌸
