Ah, What a Problem to Have
It could only happen in Copenhagen (well, perhaps Amsterdam, too). In an article on Yahoo! News, Danish Cyclist Federation spokesman Frits Bredal was quoted as saying, “Copenhagen’s roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather.” According to the article, the Noerrebrogade thoroughfare is the busiest bicycle street in Europe, used by approximately 36,000 bicyclists a day. Noerrebrogade’s bike paths are filled to the brim with bicycles (ah, what a problem to have). To solve the issue, the paths will be widened by over 12 feet and the main roadway will be reserved for buses only. Incredible.

so cool! i sometimes dream of bike highways
I’m not sure I would enjoy cycling as much with that many other people packed around me, my commute is “me time”. Traffic is traffic, no matter how many wheels.

Love it!
@Thomas: and the funny thing is that so many commenters think the money would be better spent on “real” roads. Who said the Dutch were bike-minded?
