What is the significant feature that allows cycling to flourish in Denmark, the same as Holland; perhaps the most cycle oriented nation ion the western world? They are both flat. London is also relatively flat. Here in the West Country there are a great number of hills, many are longand steep. They won''t worry cycling enthusiasts, but the vast majotity of the population won''t be interested unless perhaps they live in a flat area such as East Anglia.
