If you've never read it, Frostbike is a phenomenal book about winter cycling (bookshop.org)

I visited Copenhagen for a short time this winter - and I can confirm that the number of bikes and people riding was very high. The ice and snow didn't seem to discourage people.

What was particularly striking to me was that there were so many bike parking places. I guess I'm use to just seeing car parks everywhere; but in Copenhagen there is bike parking everywhere instead. (And of course, the bike lanes were pretty good.)
