We spent a day cycling around, checking out the more touristic sites and getting a feel for the city center. We were also able to see a lot of cool local stuff too, like an afternoon rave that had been organised under a bridge. We were not the only ones wearing earplugs.
The rave wasn't really our style, but the Danish love of eating brunch certainly was. We shared a delicious feast on our host's terrace that lasted half the day. The scrambled tofu was outstanding - check out the recipe below.
Our favourite aspect of Copenhagen though, was almost certainly the ease
and joy of cycling everywhere. The city planners wisely invested in a
staggering network of on and off-road cycle paths, which taken together
with an acute awareness of cyclists by drivers, and high penalties for
injuring them, has resulted in a phenomenal cycle culture. It was
strange at first to be around so many other bikes, but to be swept up in
the flow and cruising along soon became one of our favourite
activities.
