Well, the surprisingly number of restriction as a cyclist in Copenhagen (not allowed to be on road when cycle lane presented), the inconveniences of turning in a junction (cycle alongside the junction, turn your bike and either wait for the traffic to clear or the traffic light to turn green) rather than just get on the middle of the road and turn, being shouted and honked at by motorists for being on the primary position on road without cycle lane, and of course all those bell and whistle that you've mentioned.
I rarely get honked at in London for being in the primary position, but in Copenhagen the motorists strongly believe you should be riding very close to parked cars/kerbs.
it seemed that in order to cycle like a copenhagen cyclists, I need to forget about everything I learn about cycle training.
