We rode our bikes to this beach even though it is seven metro stops away. Biking in Copenhagen is very easy. Bike lanes exist on nearly every street. The lanes are more substantial and respected by autos and pedestrians alike–far more so than in the U.S. There are three signal lights to look for in Denmark at each corner–one for cars, one for walkers, and one for bikers. It is confusing at first, but once I got used to it I find it to be a superior system.<\/p>\n The ground is flat in Denmark. There are no hills to speak of. The only time effort is required on a bike is when you have wind in your face or are going over a bridge. Basically, biking is never tiring (even for the kids) so seven metro stops worth of biking isn’t a problem. Plus, we’d miss much of the landscape and neighborhoods along the way if we rode the metro.<\/p>\n I only got in up to my knees, but my kids went for it. They saw lots of jelly fish in the water.<\/p>\n 20 percent of energy used in Denmark comes from wind. The turbines in the Oresund are not an eyesore in my opinion.<\/p>\n![\"wind](\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/img_5267trim.jpg\" "\\"amager")
