  1. Hi,

    I just found the following article about cycle courses for immigrants in
    Denmark.

    http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,501869,00.html

    Apparently cycling is an inherent part of Danish life - so the new citicens
    are offered courses by the Danish Red Cross to get into cycling.

    I wonder if the "Life in the UK" test by the Home Office would cover this
    aspect as well? :-)

    I think a Danish politician some years ago promised tailwind on all
    cycle paths if they were elected (OK, to make a point of the feasability
    of other politician's promises).

    "In 2006, the average Dane clocked 954 kilometers. That compares, for
    example, with 298 in Germany, 84 in Great Britain and 33 in the US."

    For some reason it sprung to my mind whether a "living in the UK" class
    rather would include lessons on "Going to the Pub" :-)
