NBC Nightly News on Copenhagen

The NBC Nightly News, from the US, were in town with their Environmental Affairs Correspondant, Anne Thompson. They were in Greenland to see the effects of global warming on the ice cap firsthand and they then spent some time in Copenhagen and environs doing reportage on various environmental issues.
They visited a Hydrogen Community on the Danish island of Lolland and, not surprisingly, they spent a good deal of time on our bicycle culture. They interviewed me and our 'bicycle mayor' Klaus Bondam, as well as our rock-star urban planning legend Jan Gehl.
I figured I'd get Anne Thompson's view on my city and interviewed her in a break from shooting on the King's New Square in Copenhagen. It's always interesting to hear how other people view the city and the bicycle culture.
Well worth it to get a newcomer's sense of what a city with well designed, useful and safe bicycle infrastructure feels like.
