youtube.com— Every day in Greater Copenhagen, roughly 500,000 people choose the bicycle, in one of the world's richest countries. Here's some footage of rush hour, Copenhagen style.

They actually filmed some of my regular bike routes. Was squinting to see if I could spot my huge blue bike hehe :D
This is one of the things I love about living here (as someone who is not originally Danish); the city is very bike-friendly. The elderly bike too... and once in a while a 75 year old woman leaves you in the dust :)
Compare these orderly Copenhagen citizens to what is ordinary traffic in Shenyang, China. One guy in a blue jacket just wanders through the intersection. http://youtu.be/B5_N1xnR-6w
well you can get (efficient a-rated) car's tax free in the Netherlands and bikes are still very popular.
and we in Europe don't work in gallons. we work in litres. and its €1.67 the litres in Denmark
so the average commute costs anywhere from 2 to 4 euro a day, so not a huge cost.
I'm sure that 200% tax on cars will help in some countries though. It's not the case here though. Most people out side CPH has a car from around age 18. Copenhagen is designed for bikes, which helps alot.
The New avatar of Pulsar has a Gasoline Engine with chassis comprises a pressed steel perimeter frame and a rectangular tube section swing arm delivering over three times the lateral stiffness of a P220 frame. The stunning look and its price range is a point of attention. So sports bike lovers be ready for this new pulasr 2oons - sporty look.
Till now there is no official announcement from the bajaj auto maker about the launch of pulsar 200ns in the market. And also ther is no anouncement about the price of this bike but it is expected that the price will be around 1 lakh. Have a look to photos of the pulsar 200ns - a new generation bike.http://gogugglet.blogspot.in/2012/01/new-pulsar-200-ns-bajaj-auto-bike-2012.htmlComment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Saving money for gas and good daily exercise.

Been there, done that. The Netherlands is pretty busy with bikes too, probably more so as a whole, although the rush hours weren't as thick.

I'm sure the 200% tax on new cars and $8 a gallon gas have nothing to do with this.
