    Copenhagen is a city of bicycles. People use them extensively and with pride. Civic facilities, like separate lanes for cyclists also help. Strict discipline shown by the cyclists too is impressive.Where as the population of Copenhagen is 667000, the number of bicycles is 736600.     But let us compare the comparables- not apples with oranges.....The highest average temperature in Copenhagen is 20 C.....where as in India summer means between 40 to 45 degrees C. By the way, Denmark does import bicycles and bicycle parts from India.    

 

Three countries adjudged as the happiest countries in the world in 2026 are (1) Finland (2) Iceland and (3) Denmark.  And now for the bombshell: Which are the three countries with the maximum percentage of atheists? - (1) Finland (2) Iceland, and (3) Denmark!  Quod erat demonstrandum!    

I visited Medelin in Colombia a few years back. This town had hosted a Cow Parade public art event where local artists decorated life-sized, fiberglass cow statues. The cows were displayed across the city, including InterContinental Medellín . They serve as colorful canvases for the region's creativity rather than being permanent city fixtures
