COPENHAGEN : Denmark, a nation known for its love of cycling, will host the first leg of the Tour de France this week and nearly a million spectators are expected to watch the riders as they traverse the Nordic country's harsh winds and flat countryside.
A hot spot for spectators will be at Dronning Louises Bro, a bridge connecting downtown Copenhagen with the hip Norrebro neighbourhood. Around 40,000 cyclists cross the bridge every day, making it the world's busiest bicycle track. "It doesn't matter whether it's the crown prince, the hot-dog vendor or the CEO - they all take the bike to work. We are suddenly equal when we are on the bike," former professional rider and cycling commentator Rolf Sorensen told Reuters.
