Lance Armstrong now has some competition

So, on Tuesday I rented a bike for my stay here. The rental company is a non-profit that sends bikes to Africa. The rental place was just around the corner, so a couple people from my kollegium and I decided we might as well pick up our bikes. After remembering how to ride a bike (it has been about 10 years), we met up with a few other people in a tiny bar to watch Obama's inauguration. They projected it up on the wall for the crowd that consisted of about 8 American students and about 20 Dominican immigrants. It was definitely my most unique experience this so far.

Back to my bike, I have realized I am not in the best biking shape. Luckily my bike ride is simple, we only have to turn once, but its about 25 minutes long. I don't know how the Danes stand those bike seats, because they are not too comfortable! They are also crazy good bikers. The other day a guy was biking, while wheeling another bike beside him! Oh, and he was passing me! You see all different types of people biking; old, young, women in fur coats, just about anyone you can imagine. I only hope that by the end of the four months I will be half as good as they are! It does explain why I haven't seen many fat people in Copenhagen.
