Living without a car is a big change for us. I thought we'd be walking everywhere. WRONG! It's so cold out and gets dark so early that we've been happy to get around on public transportation. Luckily, we live just a 3 minute walk from Christianshavn metro station and the bus stop.

Gaius' morning commute is pretty rough. When we leave the house at 7:25 a.m. it's dark as night. We take one metro train and two buses to get him to Copenhagen International School (CIS). It's a 45 minute commute! Since I've been riding with Gaius to and from school, this means that I've been commuting about 3 hours each day (back and forth, back and forth)! Gaius is getting more comfortable taking the bus and metro, so he'll be riding at least half way to school on his own starting next week. Don't worry. It's safe! The funny thing is, even though it takes 45 minutes by train/bus to get to Gaius' school, if we were to ride bikes it would only take us 20 minutes.

I'm happy to report that Gaius and I now both have bikes! I just got mine tonight! Once the weather gets nicer, Gaius will probably bike to school.

Christopher takes one metro and one bus to work, but his commute is much shorter. He'll be getting his own bike very soon too!
If Gaius had his way, he'd be commuting to school on this:

P.S. - Picture from the next day. CDN got his bike!

Bike riding is so cool in Europe. Safer there than here, huh? I think when summer comes around it will still be light a 11 pm! So you can ride probably till midnight. :-) Love the pink panther! Christopher looks happy with his new bike!
