    This City's Christmas Tree Lights Will Go Off Unless 15 People Ride Bikes

    I always feel warm and fuzzy when the Christmas tree gets put up, but it's definitely not because I'm sweating from pedaling bikes to keep the decorations glowing. I'll leave that to these crazy folks in Copenhagen. More »
