I read that some cities had problems with too many bikes ending up at a select few stations. For instance, you'd bike to the shopping center and then take your groceries home via train or bus. Have you noticed this problem happening in Copenhagen johnnyzee?

I haven't noticed or heard complaints about it. They have teams of people taking care of the fleet in exchange for unemployment benefits, I believe this includes redistributing once in a while.

Also, when I was there, it seemed like mostly tourists using the free bikes. Most residents have their own bikes they use. usually a few from what i hear.
