Vibe in one line
Minimalist fairy tale where bikes outnumber bad design choices.
Rough population size
About 650k in the city; roughly 1.4M in the metro.
Transit / getting around
Bikes rule everything; metro is clean and frequent; walking feels like touring a Scandinavian UX demo.
My take
This is my urban-planning crush. Whenever Boston adds a new bike lane, I’m like, “Look at you, trying to be Copenhagen when you grow up.”
