Stuck in the traffic jam... Biking in Denmark

[Christof]

Here's a video that shows what happens when commuting by bike is taken seriously. Rush hour in Copenhagen:

And as you can see no one wears a stupid helmet for low speed commuting :)

What is the motorized box at 1:40?

That looks like a Hot Dog stand. Here's a better picture of those:

I'm new to learning about biking infrastructure in Denmark and neighboring countries, but from what little I've seen already, I've gotta say that I love it.  The bike lane in the video is so wide and it is separated from most motor vehicles by a bus lane.  It might be rush hour but everyone seems so relaxed.   The bikers obviously feel safe.  Bravo!

Cool, so they sit on the little box with the third weel.

That is what I love about living in Europe, this would never be allowed to go on roads in Canada.
