Biking in Copenhagen

Introduction:

While living in Copenhagen, I noticed something very interesting. Almost everyone rides a bike. People bike to work, school and even to the grocery store. Biking is a normal part of daily life here!

What tradition did I learn about?:

One tradition I learned about is biking...everywhere! Many people in Copenhagen choose bikes instead of cars. You can see bike lanes all over the city filled with people riding.

Why does the community have this tradition?:

People bike because it is healthy, good for the environment and helps reduce traffic. The city also built special bike lanes, so it is safe and easy for people to ride.

Is this tradition connected to its environment? How?:

Yes. Copenhagen is a flat city, which makes it easier to bike. The city also wants to keep the air clean, and biking helps reduce pollution.
