If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycle has assumed that role today, Bredal says.

　　“It’s a means of transportation used by all social classes, and even politicians ride bikes, ” he says.

　　It is on crowded Noerrebrogade—the busiest bicycle street in Europe—that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen’s environmentally friendly streets. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four metres on either side of the road, which will itself be reserved for buses only.

　　The idea is to make Noerrebrogade “Europe’s great cycling street” , says Andreas Roehl, the Copenhagen city’s bicycle program manager who is also known as “Mister Bike” .

　　But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen’s inner city cyclists. He wants to get suburbanites(郊区居民)out of their cars and onto two wheels as well.

　　His goal is to increase the percentage of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 33 percent it is today to more than 50 percent by 2015. Within the city, 55 percent of all commuters already travel by bike.

　　Already Copenhagen stands out among other European capitals for its cycling infrastructure, counting more than 390 kilometres of bike paths. (406W)
