Sometimes I have a hard time imagining living somewhere else.
All the goodness inherent in urban cycling and having large numbers of bicycles in our cities is definately an idea worth spreading. See what I have to say about how The Culture of Fear puts this at risk in my talk at the TED x Copenhagen day last Tuesday. The Copenhagen version of the TED.com talk series.
Love these! That's almost exactly how my morning commute looked this morning, except there were only a couple other cyclists and cars were breathing down my neck.
ReplyDeleteKeep up these great posts! Past few days I've been reading the same old
ReplyDelete-"Canada has only 2-4 months of cycling weather" or the typical
-"you can't cycle in the winter".
I've passed along your previous three posts not only to show you CAN ride in any condition, but do it in style!
Lovely shots as usual Mikael but you spelled definitely wrong - again!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteLong time reader; first time commenter: I really enjoyed your TEDx talk about the culture of fear. And it goes without saying; love the photographs!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures and brave people! Here in Spain we are not so used to bike in such weather.
ReplyDeleteI have a photo blog in which I've posted two entries about bicycles that maybe you'd like to watch at:

Congratulations!
Living in South Australia on Eyre Peninsula where we have no running water at all and a average rainfall of only 18 inches a year. I cant even imagine it being this cold. Still I commute to work with no problem when it is 43 Celcius. Something cyclists in Copenhagen would find daunting as well.
