That 3rd set exists and functions fine in... Waterloo/Cedar Falls, IA, of all places.

Is it flat like Copenhagen?

It's not hilly.

In any case, the trails were laid over a former rail track, so the trails are very flat[1] - never steeper than 2% grade.

Electric assistance on a bike makes every city flat.
