Every day 1.3 million km are cycled in Copenhagen, with 36% of all citizens commuting to work, school or university by bicycle. Cycling is generally perceived as a healthier, environmentally friendly, cheaper and often quicker way around town than by public transport or car and it is therefore municipal policy for the number of commuters by bike to go up to 40% by 2012 and 50% by 2015.

There are around 350 km of cycle paths in Copenhagen, separated from the car lanes as well as the pavement by curbs, while there are another 20 km of on-road cycle lanes, marked by a broad painted line.
