It's All About Space: The Cycle Chic Space.



The urban fabric in a Life-Sized City provides space. It provides space for mobility, expression and socialization. This shot from a Saturday afternoon in Vesterbrogade, one of the main streets in Copenhagen, is a simple example of the freedom . It was a busy day on the streets, but this girl knows how to work it all out riding on her bicycle and keeping it chic.



She knows she has enough space as a bicycle user and cars won't mess with that. She rides easy and glamorously carrying large cargo, talking on the phone and rocking a green, poncho sweater.

 

She shows off her style without endeavor because the blue lane is her runway.

Throwing it back to Summer 2007. Nine years ago, we spotted ombré girl texting in her sandal heels. Year the first iphone was released.

A hefty fine if caught, but it's rarely enforced.

My Favourite Snowstorm Photos

Copenhagen February Traffic - Cycling in Winter in Copenhagen
It's always hard to make a favourites list when you have seven years of archive photos. It's snowing out there in Copenhagen this morning (-18 C with the windchill, by the way), so here's a (long) selection of my favourite snowstorm photos.

80% of Copenhageners cycle all winter. In a snowstorm, that will drop further, but there are still a wonderful amount of bicycle users going about their business on bikes in the city.

Over at Copenhagenize.com you can read about how a modern city prioritizes snow clearance for bicycle traffic in the Ultimate Snow Clearance Blogpost. Here, you can see how Copenhageners just get on with it. As my mother would say, it's "put a sweater on" weather today.

Sometimes the snow catches up with the snow clearance but it is a temporary situation. The plows are coming soon.

Cycle Chic Voyage, New York, NY

Manhattan Bridge Morning 2
Summer holiday, at last.  While Mikael headed off to Croatia, I'm taking a few weeks and spending them in New York.  Most of the trip will be in upstate New York, but I am so so very excited to spend the last few days in New York City.  After working at Cycle Chic and Copenhagenize, the way I perceive cities has changed.  Drastically.  It happens to all of us.

So, I've got my Cycle Chic shades packed, my restaurants and theatres scouted out, and I am ready.  Ready for Manhattan Bridge Mornings, Brooklyn coffee shop afternoons, and some fantastic summer nights out.
