Den Gronne Sti is the green seam that lets you cross half the city without meeting a car. This local-edition ride follows it from the Frederiksberg side through Norrebro, threading Superkilen, Norrebroparken and Assistens, with a brewery and the neighbourhood's best bakeries right on the line. The point isn't the sights - it's how good the ordinary bike city feels.
