Great to see some dapper chaps featured. So much effortless poise in the first character - I just want to go and shake his hand. When I go out cycling like this here in Melbourne I have to endure the stares from the insectoid-helmeted fluorescent brigade, whose ghastly appearance defiles the streets of this city. Copenhagen - I love you!
For me that briefcase holder trick works fine, too. Learned it from a friend back in the eighties at school. Another reason to prefer an old style men´s frame with a slim horizontal top tube.
Question: Curious - In that first shot you can see at least 3 bikes parked on the sidewalk. Are they locked up or not? What is the typical Copenhagen attitude regarding bike locks?
