there's something awesome in the state of Denmark



The Danes have a good life-they're tall, blond, and beautiful in a country surrounded by water (and composed of islands) plus they use more candles than any other country. But what most impresses me about them is that, at least in Copenhagen, everyone bikes everywhere! Rain or snow apparently. I have a good friend from said city and I remember when he first told me his family didn't even own a vehicle, I was shocked. Plus, if you don't even own your own bike (or you're just visiting there) you can use any of the free city bikes as long as you want- just pay a deposit and you get it back when you return it. That's smart.

That puts me to shame... I haven't been using my bike because it's too darn cold here in London

Denmark is definitely on the list of countries I would move to given the chance. I would ride my bike everywhere and watch Football (the kind that you play with your feet)!
