Life-sized Copenhagen

The Little Mermaid isn't small. She's life-size. Much like city she calls home, and that is the key word for everything here in Copenhagen. Greatest thing about this city is motion. It is never ending flow of happy people heading from A to B. In the 1960's this city was as car centric as any other city. Visionary decisions were made and now we can see the result of constant fight for life-sized city. City that is made for people, for its citizens. The vast network of safe, segregated bike lanes criss-crossing the city has encouraged people to use their bicycle. Everything starts with infrastructure. Build safe, reliable and connected infrastructure - more cyclists will come.

Image above proves the liveliness of this city, the human scale that Copenhagen stands for. To Cycle Chic in this city is so easy. It just comes naturally.

Happy Cycling!

Puffy Jacekts

The weather is changing all the time, so puffy jackets are the best choice. Keeps you warm, easy to move (we mean cycle) and they look good.

This lady... All bronze. Her bike, her jacket, even her skin tone. We like it. It is not by mistake, she is chic and unique.

Or add a stand out colour. We are aware that Copenhageners like to wear black, but it is so nice from time to time refresh yourself with some nice colour. Good job!

The safe way. It is longer - to keep yourself warmer, black - because it always works, opened neck - because it not so cold, yet. With the beige boots and gloves in dark red this is a really nice combination.

Keep yourself warm.
Happy Cycling!

With The Dog in The Basket

You see her riding with full basket in the front and the box in the back. It is no surprise when you see a dog in the basket here in Copenhagen. The dog owners are not afraid to take their pets in their bikes so they can enjoy and experience the ride together. Smaller dogs in front baskets, bigger in cargo bikes. There is no excuse.

This lady proves it. She is on her bike with her best friend in the front basket. However, pay attention to the their outfits. They both are matching army green jackets. True spirit of friendship!!! Safe and chic ride for both of them.

Happy Cycling!
