Cycle Chic Voyage, New York, NY

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.

Friday Night Lights

Vienna Cycle Chic

We're going out tonight. There is a 50% chance of clear skies, and a 100% chance that either way, we will be getting there by bicycle.

As Black as Gold

Here in Copenhagen, the night is as black as gold. And it is as good a time as any to ride your bike. Here is some of the night action from the mystical rider above to the nightclubbing girl below. Enjoy!

Ready to party.

A family affair.

Happy cycling!

Socially Nocturnal

Some more shots from the Copenhagen nightlife. It's like truck stops in America. The ones with the most trucks have the best food. In Copenhagen the bars with the most bicycles are the ones you want to be at. I was at (among other places) Mesteren & Lærlingen (The Boss and the Apprentice) in the meat packing district. It's an old bar that the butchers in the meat packing district used to hang out at and now it's a cosy restaurant in the evenings and a throbbing, pulsing bar at night.





There was music pumping away inside, but this guy was parked out front with his vintage Longjohn cargo bike, playing groovy tunes for the crowds hanging out in front of the bar, despite the temperature hovering around zero.
