Now that christmas tree isn't going to walk home by itself, now is it?
Our little family made our way down to our good friends at Baisikeli - the sustainability organisation who send used Danish bikes to development projects in Africa. They're selling eco-Swedish-christmas trees to the neighbourhood this year.
What better way to get the tree home than in our Velorbis Long John?
There was a bit of brainstorming about how to get the tree... and the kids... home. Niels, from Baisikeli, and Wifealiciousness realise that we should tie the tree up a bit more so the kids don't have to chew on pine needles. In lieu of string, we just taped it. Lulu-Sophia looks on. Then Felix was put into the box to see if he would fit. He's loving it. And he fit.
On the way home we stopped to pick up some ice cream from the best ice cream makers in the nation: Paradis.
What better way to get the tree home but in the cargo box of our Long John.
At last we roll up to one of the bike sheds for one last corny photo before getting the tree up into the flat for prompt decoration.

This is pretty cool. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the tree in it's full glory in your lounge room next.
Great bike, too. Never seen anything like this before.
P.S. Just found your blog thanks to Cyclistrick. I have bookmarked it now and will be back.
Have a nice winter festivity! Great shots, by the way :)
absolutely picture perfect, good stuff(ing) :)
Hyggelig!
i love it!
I love that top pic. Collar up, gives is it a hip look. So much going on there.
It appears the Europeans know how to do Christmas. Most people here, in America, do plastic trees.
I know no one with a plastic tree. San Francisco is in America if I am correct:)

-Hey! That tree is plastic isn't it?
-Litie gets past you, does it.
Some people might suggest that San Francisco isn't in America. You won't get the argument from me, but I work in the suburbs.
What fun! Happy Holidays :-)
These pictures are too cute!
That first pic is totally awesome! Happy Holidays to you and yours, Mikael!
@Mikael-I would like to know if it is a Danish tradition to take one's Christmas Tree to the beach and where that tradition may come from? :)
@Spiderlegs- SF is most certainly in America. Maybe a slightly different, more likely to cross dress America... :)
thanks everyone.
adrienne: taking the tree to the beach? Never heard of it...
