Do you know that more than half of the people living in Copenhagen(哥本哈根), the Danish capital, ride a bike to school or work every day? The city has set a goal(目标)to become the world's first carbon neutral(碳中立) capital by2025.

Cycling(骑行)is actually a faster and more time-saving way to travel in Copenhagen.That's why you'll find more bikes than people and more than 5 times as many bikes than cars in this city!

Copenhagen is a cycling paradise(天堂). The city has done its best to encourage people to ride bikes-it has built more than 1,000 km of cycling roads. The city planners have made plans to help park bikes and repair bikes for free--wow!

Copenhagen's cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the city's main streets are only used for bike lanes(车道). Bike lanes along major roads are wide. Copenhagen is building 38 highways along the main city roads. The city's subways also allow cyclists to bring their bikes in the train, free of cost

The city planners are working hard to make cyclists feel safe So when cyclists get closer to a main crossing, sensors(传感器)down the streets ‘tell’ the traffic lights to give them a ‘green’ light,which means cyclists don' t have to worry about the heavy traffic. Isn't that cool? One smooth journey from home to school! Even in the cold winters, the workers clean snow on the cycling lanes before car lanes.

Lately, however, the city is facing a new problem-there are not enough parking lots for cyclists. Some people now start leaving their bikes just about anywhere. Perhaps the best way is to make more space for bikes or build underground parking lots.

At the same time, other big cities are following Copenhagen's example, such as London, Paris,New York, Beijing and San Francisco They are all taking actions to encourage cyclists.
