One factor promoting happiness in Denmark is bicycles, whose number exceeds that of the Danish population. The Danish royal family ride bicycles to shop and many lawmakers and ministers commute by bicycle. A dressed-up couple is shown biking to watch an opera. The use of bicycles reduces traffic jams and air pollution. Because of their avid biking, the Danes are also far thinner than people in other Western nations. To encourage the use of bicycles, the Danish government expanded bicycle lanes. A bicycle traffic signal is given ahead of that for motorized vehicles.
