The Copenhagen carrot and the stick

The first thing one notices in Copenhagen are the bicycles. They outnumber cars and as a pedestrian, it took some getting used to. Bicycle lanes are everywhere and look like sidewalks, so great caution must be used, because the cyclists don't yield to the pedestrians. 

Because the city encourages bicycling, over half its citizens bicycle to work each day. Most others use the metro system. Cars are conspicuously absent from city streets.  There is a 180% tax on cars!!!!' No, that's not a typo.  So if a family owns a car, they sometimes share with extended family or friends.
