: , 28 February 2012 Hi , Cyclist Your Bicycle is Here The area surrounding the nation's busiest train station , Nørreport , is a labyrinth of construction as the City is renovating the on-street facilities and making it a nicer place . The result is that there is less space available so the City of Copenhagen has these signs up on Købmagergade , near the station . We are always thrilled to Copenhagenize Consulting's Hej Cyklist behavourial communication template in use . This campaign was developed for the City by the consultancy Atkins Danmark It reads : Hej Cyclist Can't you find your bicycle It's now parked in .

: 21 February 2012 Bicycle Snowploughs This winter has , so far , been rather uneventful . No arctic deep freeze with snowstorm after snowstorm rolling in like the past two winters and many before that It's been grey and dull and quite boring , with only The Lakes being frozen over to provide a sense of winter and the opportunity to . skate Older people including my dad will wax lyrical about the three legendary winters back in 1939 40, 40 41 and 41 42.

: 14 February 2012 GPS Bicycle Tracker Many Copenhageners get kind of irritated when their cargo bikes or even regular bikes get nicked . There is especially a big problem with stolen cargo bikes in Copenhagen because they are expensive and the price for used cargo bikes remains high due to the decent level of quality on most Danish brands . Even a ten year old Christiania bike can set you back 1500-2000 dollars . There is a lot of talk about GPS tracking solutions and I know a number of friends who have invested in GPS solutions in order to be able to be alerted if their bike gets stolen and to track it on a website hopefully reclaiming it afterwards . We had a chat with Brian , from the Danish website Seirjagt.dk and we're pleased to be able to test out the Cykeltracker After getting two
