All Men Cycle

               

In Denmark, all men cycle. Through the Danish urban fabric, we can admire the diversity of personalities and fresh faces that choose the bicycle for their A-to-B. It is refreshing and inspiring to witness this kind of rawness. 

Happy Cycling!

Big Bugs on Two Wheels

We all know riding a bicycle makes you look and feel cooler. Well, big earphones tend to do the same. What about wearing both at the same time? The look just becomes unbeatable. It's effortless coolness that reflects a chill, good time. The bicycle and the big bugs are two items that guarantee a good time. Here's a small collection of moments of people enjoying urban fabric with their bicycle and big headphones on. 

Portraits of Cyclists - Sofie: “Copenhagen has a nice dynamic thanks of the cyclists riding in the streets"

“I'm from Copenhagen. I cycle every day with this second-hand bike. Cycling does cost anything and it's a good way to exercise, so I don't even have to think about going to the gym.

I like cycling in Nørrebrogade, since the bike lanes are extremely wide. I also appreciate cycling along the lakes, on the bike lane covered by the trees.

I think that in Copenhagen, you have a nice dynamic thanks of the cyclists riding in the streets and you don't find it in other city.”

“What is the funniest memory from your childhood related to cycling?”
“A friend and I liked riding our bikes without the hands on the handlebar. But an old man living in the street was always annoyed seeing us doing that. He was always shouting that it was dangerous and he did not want to call the ambulance. But we never stop doing it."

Portraits of cyclists - Mads: “It's a bike from the 70's”

“Where did you get you nice Peugeot race bike?”

“I bought it when I started working as a carpenter. The workshop was 20 km from my home. I preferred biking than taking the bus, in order to manage my own time. So, I bought this race bike. It's a bike from the 70's, I think.

To finish, I just would like to suggest that people should bike more.”

Walk'in

Bicycles are incredibly flexible machines. From the road side it only takes an instant to dismount and mix with the pedestrian crowd.

Your bike still works great for carrying heavy bags and unhandy packages.


Walking is an effortless addition to our ability to blend into traffic cycle. Its how we can take our bicycles into a closed city yard, a building - or even the city metro.


No need to worry about parking first whenever you want to enjoy the scenery or take a break from the city rush


And a well balanced bicycle will almost walk itself.

Happy Cycling!

Wait for It

The World's Best Behaved Bicycle Users in Copenhagen like to wait for it.
With a basket.

With a soundtrack.

With a headwind.

With a delightful ensemble.

With complete casualness.

Red bicycles. Nothing beats them.

Gentlemen's Saturday on Cycle Chic

Inspired by Mark over at London Cycle Chic and his recent Here Come the Boys post, we figured we'd make this Gentlemen's Saturday here on Cycle Chic.

It was -14 degrees this morning - chillier still with the wind chill - but the sun was shining so the world was perfect. (for our readers in Burma, Liberia and the USA - the only countries that haven't switched to Celcius - 14 degrees below zero is 6.8 degrees Fahrenheit :-) ) So here are some cycling Copenhagen gentlemen - kept chilled for freshness - for your perusal.






When you read this I'll be carving up the pistes in Sweden. Gone skiing with my son and some kids/parents from his class for the weekend. Only two hours from Copenhagen, so I'll be back soon.

The Bridge

Heading across Queen Louise's Bridge in the afternoon. Simple as that.
