Copenhagen part 3: readying to leave

Before I leave, I wanted to say a thing or two about the bikes in Copenhagen.
I have never seen so many people using bikes for transportation as here. Just looking at the Copenhagen Business School entrance (wish I had a photo), you see rows and rows of bikes just parked there. Everywhere you look on the streets, there are just as many bikes as cars (if not more), and bikes parked practically everywhere. Mind you, the Danes have an interesting way of securing their bikes - when they do at all: They have a lock on their rear wheel, so that you can't bike away with the bike. That doesn't actually stop you from picking it up and leaving with it, but that doesn't seem to concern anyone. I guess it's somewhat suspicious to be carrying around a bike rather than riding it. It's still very strange to me not to have bikes connected to anything permanent. You quite often see bikes that have fallen over just lying on the ground somewhere.
And people ride in their best clothes - I don't understand how they manage it. Regardless of whether the streets are wet, people don't seem to get their clothes dirty while riding, or at least it doesn't seem to bother them. Women in heeled shoes and skirts, men in suits, just biking around. Perhaps more interesting are all the people riding around talking on their cellphones - I guess it's not just a car thing, although I'd think it would be harder to do on a bike.
There are so many bikes that there are some roads that have two (marked) bike lanes in each direction, and special traffic lights especially for bikes. You have to cross these to get on and off buses, and although the bikes usually stop when there is a bus stopping, it's still necessary to look before getting on and off the bus so an especially aggressive bike doesn't hit you. I suppose that to Danes this post may seem quaint (if not condescending), but it's all quite different to me. Impressive - admirable even, but different nonetheless.
Overall it's been a fun visit. It was nice spending time with Tsvi and Lei, and Yvonne is so adorable. If you have the address, you can see pictures of her on my Picasa web albums.
