		The Christiania tricycle, manufactured since the 1970s in an alternative community in Copenhagen, is ubiquitous: Ridden by men and women of all ages, it's seen in the daily flow of car and bike traffic, at markets, bringing children to schools, and in Copenhagen's fantastic, cobblestoned, auto-free shopping district.
		Christiania users know quite well that their cycles have limitations compared to motorized vehicles, but that's the point, they say — these limitations help us live more sustainably.
		The company addressed one of the primary tenets of the district, affectionately called "Freetown" — Christiania is always to be auto-free.

		Christiania has proposed a self-governed foundation that would buy the land and devise a rent system to pay for necessary construction; the bar on buying and selling houses would continue.

		Christiania is a freetown in the middle of Copenhagen which emerged in 1970 when squatters moved into a disused 34 hectare military base.

		In the early 1970s, the government recognised Christiania as a social experiment and an agreement was made whereby Christiania would pay for drainage, water and electricity.
