To our amazement and delight, a platter of cheeses, fish, and brown bread graced the table. They even served us a Danish beer. Welcome to Denmark. Had we been traveling by car, bus, or train, we never would have met the Nissens. Serendipitous encounters like this are just one of many advantages of traveling by bike.
Cycling offers a sense of ultimate freedom.
You can meet the locals, be sensitive to the environment, save money, and enjoy an area's scenic beauty while getting a good workout. Your senses come alive as you hear the songs of the sparrow, smell fresh summer flowers, and feel the bracing whip of a sharp wind against your cheek. And it's virtually flat. Jutland, where we started our trip through Denmark, offers some unique attractions. Undoubtedly, the most bizarre is in Billund, where we found a theme park called Legoland.
