Last week I have been there at Stockholm. Nice and green city. Since i am living in Frankfurt for the past 2 years, it was a different experience for me. In Germany (I have lived in 3 to 4 cities in Germany), you cannot see that many cyclists in Stockholm. They really have a broader lane, even in busy routes, just for cyclists.
There were plenty of cyclists in Stockholm. They help to keep the air fresh and themselves active. Just for comparison in Frankfurt the car:cycle ratio would be 500:1 if not 1000:1.
Only after coming back and after doing a little research i came to know that these days European countries are taking effort to cut down emission by encouraging people to use cycles.
BBC News tells you more.
