SO here's the thing: if Denmark is the happiest country in the world, why do its cyclists want to kill me?

Governments should put out a travel advisory on these militant two-wheelers - with their angry bell-ringing, screeching brakes and piercing death stares - out to rid Copenhagen of hapless tourists who didn't get the memo that "these bike lanes are MINE!"

So, if you're fresh off the airport bus, consider yourself warned. That spacious bit of asphalt between the bus and the sidewalk is no place to linger with your Samsonites. Danes are extremely friendly people in general but you don't want to get between them and their destination. Don't forget - they're Vikings.
