I love this shot. Look at the pent up energy in it. Five Copenhageners on bicycles. None of them are speed demons. They're just people heading to work in the morning. Nevertheless, this is the moment when the light is about to change. Bodies tensed. Eyes narrowed, waiting for the moment. Urban life, urban tension, urban ballet.
And all resolved with one graceful launch moment when the bicycle rolls off with a push of the foot and momemtum is achieved.

I would say *five* Copenhageners ... but perhaps you know that one of them are Chinese?
By the way: I love your blog!
i think he said 4 as the 1 guy in the back is crossing the street going the other way
there are five cyclists in this photo- at least through canadian eyes
but this Canadian still loves your blog!
Five! My mistake. It's corrected. Thanks!
Great capture of a moment we've all encountered on bicycles!
I was excited today to see one other biker across the street. I occasionally see other bikers while out on foot or in a friend's car but the experience of being surrounded is beyond foreign. I would be so excited to bike in Coppenhagen everyone would think I was such a fool!
