Broad streets, large parks en ponds, unanimous traffic law-obedience, cyclists, runners, charming blondes, young families. Notable about Copenhagen’s street view is its healthy demographics, with trendy and sporty people, almost all of whom ride their bike to work. Apart from regular bikes (lady models all carry a wicker basket up front) the high concentration of cargo bikes (- trikes mostly) is striking. Many of these are handmade in Christiania. Among young and old exists a broad support of this free state, judging by the many visible hooded sweaters with the text ‘Bevar Christiania’, preserve Christiania.

Street view Copenhagen, Nørrebrogade. Blonde on bike passes by 40 sign in Nørrebro, a large city district west of the old city centre of Copenhagen. The number 40 stands to symbolise the new climate treaty. It serves to remind negotiators to the upcoming climate conference in Copenhagen of the scientific necessity for all industrialised countries to accept a legally binding emissions reduction of at least 40 percent (between 1990 and 2020).
