On Saturday I did a biking tour around the city. It was very intense because the bikes travel like cars in this city. They are people's means of transportation, not just a strolling form of exercise. However, it was great to feel like a local. No wonder everyone is so fit in this city- not only do they bike everywhere, but they are biking on cobblestone, which gives your butt a nice extra workout. Needless to say, I was sore for a couple days.
Part of the bike tour was through Christiania. Christiania is a section of Copenhagen that is very anti-law, anti-government, "let's do drugs and graffiti all the walls." The people of Christiania enjoy being the rebels of Copenhagen. However, no matter how rebellious and anti-civilization the people of Christiania are, they all still take their recycling very seriously. I found that fascinating because I thought that would be the first rule to break to defy Denmark's standards.
