The weather was beautiful and really fit the aesthetic of Copenhagen. That particular spot, where the bridge is, is also very distinguished and it is and extremely pretty space. That's where I would take someone first if I were showing them around the city.]]> 2023-09-11 18:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2698003176 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2706860032 Unfortunately, I don't have a bike, but I was still able to walk on the cirkelbroen bridge. It was cool to see the wide range of uses for the bridge. People were biking, walking, and also just chatting or taking photos. The weather was very nice when I crossed the bridge, so it was a very pleasant experience. However, I can imagine that if I was actually biking, it would be a slightly annoying bridge to cross if there were a lot of people because there wasn't a straight path over the bridge -- the only path was winding over the bridge with some poles in the way. It seems that the architecture was more intended for artistic beauty, rather than functionality. ]]> 2023-09-16 15:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2706860032 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2707366694 Today I biked across Inderhavnsbroen, which is located by Nyhavn. Behind me to the left is the Royal Danish Playhouse, a performing arts center that sits along the waterfront. As is the case for many of the newer projects on the harbor, the Playhouse is characterized by a modern, glass-heavy design, which offers a striking contrast to the traditional Copenhagen architectural style that can be seen just around the corner at Nyhavn. This ability to experience both “new” and “old” Copenhagen while crossing Inderhavnsbroen was something that I found to be really cool, and it wasn’t just limited to Nyhavn and the Playhouse. Crossing from the Nyhavn side, if you look to your left, you are met with the bold and innovative designs that embody the “new” Copenhagen — structures like the Royal Danish Opera House and the soon-to-be-completed apartments at Paper Island. On the other hand, if you look to your right, you take a step into Copenhagen’s past, with the same red roofs and spires that you can find all over the city. That said, you are sure to be met with stunning views any direction you are looking at as you cross Inderhavnsbroen. With the sun shining and the beautiful architecture all around me, I was reminded of just one of the reasons why Copenhagen is considered to be one of the happiest cities in the world.

It was nice to bike across Cykelslangen to get away from the pedestrians, cars, and traffic lights. I think that having cycle-only bridges encourages more cyclers because it expedites the journey across the city without having to worry about traffic. ]]> 2023-09-18 09:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708501170 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708552679 Today I biked across Lille Langebro, which was about a 20 minute bike ride from where I live in Amager. This was actually my first time biking in Copenhagen at all. I really enjoyed it and thought it was super easy, especially since there weren't a lot of people on the streets at the time that I was out and it was a very nice morning. I went to Oslo, Norway last week and tried biking there which was actually very difficult and kind of scary because of how little infrastructure for biking there is within the city (and how much the elevation changes as you go). Needless to say I enjoyed this bike ride a whole lot more and am very happy to have done it. It's also a big plus that the view from the bridge overlooking the canal is incredible.]]> 2023-09-18 10:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708552679 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708567516 I walked across the Circle Bridge. I went late morning, so there were not many people, but majority of people crossing it were on their bikes. A few others were like myself and taking pictures as they walked across. I recently went to the Black Diamond Library and saw this bridge from there, so it was fun for me to see it from the other side. I do not bike in Copenhagen, but did enjoy people watching as others did. I think it's a really beautiful scene by the canal, watching all the people bike, walk, and boat. ]]> 2023-09-18 10:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708567516 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708593754 I decided to walk the Cirkelbroen Bridge. I went late morning so there wasn't to many people there. Mostly bikes were passing but there was other people as well takling photos. The bridge was built weird so I guess they build for aesthetic reasons. The structure was cool and the view was great. ]]> 2023-09-18 11:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708593754 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708649738 I walked across the circle bridge one night after swimming in the harbor. The bridge was quite aesthetically pleasing and a very cool bridge to walk across. I question its ability to move bikers efficiently due to the unique shape and the poles in the middle of the bridge, but it was still definitely worth it to see!]]> 2023-09-18 11:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708649738 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708831604 I rode my bike across Cykelslangen with a friend and I must say the view off the bridge was amazing. Part of the bridge snakes around buildings, which is a really interesting design. Another part of it goes across the harbor. The part that goes across the harbor allows you to see all the interesting architecture of Copenhagen right by the waterside. There were also specific lanes for bikes and lanes for people that were walking which were really efficient. This day I also rode my bike all the way from my homestay to the city for the first time, which took around 40 minutes, and I must say that the roads where really bike friendly.   ]]> 2023-09-18 13:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2708831604 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2709470374 I went on an evening walk with my roommate to Lille Langebro. There was a surprising amount of bike traffic considering it was almost 8:30. The view of the city lights from the bridge at night was stunning, and it was a great place for a safe    late night stroll. ]]> 2023-09-18 19:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2709470374 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2710434317 I had an assignment for my core course that required me to bike with a group across as many cycling bridges as we can. This picture is from Cirkelbroen but we got to almost all of the ones along the harbor. The more open space of the circle bridge allowed us to goof off a lot more than the busier bridges.]]> 2023-09-19 08:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2710434317 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2710503375 This bridge is almost directly at my Kollegium so I bike on it every day. It is really cool how successful the bridge in keeping both the pedestrians and the bikers safe. This is one of my favorite bridges to bike across as the look of it is super cool. It follows a curved shape thats super industrial looking. Sometimes the bridge will open to let in a large boat. It happens rarely but when it does people always take videos and photos, admiring the way the bridge splits. I'll admit, it can be a bit frustrating because the bridge can take up to 10 minutes to close up again. Other than that, I love this bridge and I love living near it as I feel I am sort of in between neighborhoods:)]]> 2023-09-19 09:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2710503375 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711337270 Today I biked to Inderhavnsbroen which is very close to where I live. I've walked across this bridge many times before since it's on the way to the closest grocery store to my dorm. I've gotten the chance to bike across it several times since I got my rental bike. The bridge's design is very practical, especially compared to other biking bridges I've seen. I really liked that fact that once you're half way through the bridge, the decline makes it easy to bike across very quickly.]]> 2023-09-19 18:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711337270 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711536397 I usually bike everyday, but this day was so windy and rainy so I chose to walk across Lille Langebro bridge. I love this bridge - it has so much space for both pedestrians and cyclists and has beautiful views as well. ]]> 2023-09-19 20:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711536397 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711597612 Today I walked across Lille Langbro and over Cirkelbroen! I found it fun that the two were so close together. It was raining and super windy, but people were still pushing through on Lille Langbro. Cirkelbroen was less busy, only one biker and three people taking photos were there. I found that our conversation about practicality vs aesthetics was super applicable, and when it comes down to it, the practical option will most likely still be used, whereas the aesthetic just exists for the pretty picture. Cirkelbroen also feels a lot smaller than it looks in photos. Lastly, I realized that flat paved paths exist more for biker than pedestrian comfort. I wonder if the original cobblestone aesthetic would have been untouched, had biking not become so prevalent. ]]> 2023-09-19 21:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711597612 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711604733 I walked across Lille Langebro! It was a very convenient bridge to walk across since the biking and walking lanes were separated and marked very clearly. It's definitely important to be careful with the bikers when entering and exiting the bridge, but I've learned to always be mindful of that in this city. I also noticed that there were three people in orange jackets sitting next to the entrance counting the number of pedestrians and bikers on the bridge. It was a lovely day when I walked it and I thought it was a very good location for it for me to be able to get from point A to B. ]]> 2023-09-19 22:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2711604733 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2712588797 I visited the Circle Bridge! I don’t have my bike yet, so I just walked across it and enjoyed the views! The architecture of this bridge is extremely cool, but doesn’t seem the most practical. It also seemed like more people were walking on it then there was biking. ]]> 2023-09-20 10:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2712588797 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408038 2023-10-26 09:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408038 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408074 2023-10-26 09:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408074 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408114 2023-10-26 09:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408114 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408165 2023-10-26 09:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408165 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408206 2023-10-26 09:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408206 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408245 2023-10-26 09:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408245 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408300 2023-10-26 09:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408300 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408329 2023-10-26 09:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408329 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408431 2023-10-26 09:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408431 https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408488 2023-10-26 09:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mbl18/k75e5h1qj6e411dp/wish/2764408488
