I am here in Copenhagen and there is one word to describe the place...bicycle! A country of 5 million people has 12 million bikes, I'm not a Mathematician but that's at least 2 bikes per person. On top of that bikes are incredible expensive, I saw a very ordinary looking bike for about $1000 Canadian. Unbelievable!
You just bikes everywhere on the streets and yet they still manage to lock there bikes. They use a small device that locks the wheel and stops you from riding it away but not carrying it away. Moreover insuring your bike is common practice. Brings the idea of the bixi to a whole new level.
Tomorrow will be a quick stop in Oslo Norway, then I will be off to Stockholm, Sweden.

Keep going J!! Let me know if you have any questions!
I'll try to put you in touch with my world-traveling friend Shauna (check out her blog at gypsychicktravels.com), she's been to all the places you're going and may even have some friends you can connect with in some places.
Soooo cool to read your updates! You'll have to do one of those cheesy "let me show you my vacation photos" slide show when you get back because there's definitely not enough pics on here :) Have fun, be safe!
Hey Jonathan,
Cara tells me you're going to some of the places I've been. What's next on your agenda?
you can reach me at artemisaspires@gmail.com if you have any questions on places you're headed :)
