It was a two week hectic itinerary, with stay in budget hostels, and low-cost airlines. This is Copenhagen. Almost every European country has these wide roads for cyclists, with a ratio of 30-35 cycles/100 people. They have first priority on all roads with pedestrians and all traffic stops for them, even if there is no traffic light. There is a lesson here for a poor country like India.
