+As Copenhagen's protected bike network grows, cyclists feel safer, and ridership grows. Government estimates are that
+each new protected route yields 15-20% more riders. From 2006 to 2016 there's been a 22% increase in kilometres covered
+by bike (1.4 _million_ km in 2016). Around 62% of commutes for those that live and work in Copenhagen are by bike.

+> One of the main reasons for the popularity of cycling in Denmark is the network of paths, including innovative

+> also one of the safest places to be a cyclist.

+From 2015 to 2019 FDNY response times were up 8.6%. In the annual [NYC management report](https://www.nyc.gov/assets/operations/downloads/pdf/mmr2019/2019_mmr.pdf)
+the fire department attributes the slower emergency response times to increased congestion, more cars on the road.
+
+When the FDNY spokesperson was asked by Streetsblog if bike lanes contributed to increased response times they said
+it was all in the report, i.e. the congestion.
