The
coolest and most elegant Director of Traffic Department works here in
Copenhagen and cycles every day.
“Do
you remember the first day you cycled by yourself?”
“Oh
yes, I have a clear memory of that day. I was 4 or 5 years old. I was
riding my sister's bike, which was too tall for me. Where I lived the
streets had long slopes. I went from the top of a street down the
slop and suddenly I lost control and as I
was not ready to brake
I finally went directly into the garbage cans. That's what happened
on my first day biking.”
“Do
you have a memory of something unusual that happened one day when you
were cycling?”
“Some
years ago, I was cycling on my way to work. I was on a very busy road
and suddenly in front of me in the amount of cyclists I saw someone
from behind that make my think: “I know this guy!”. I was
thinking that it was not one of my colleagues or one of my friends or
relatives but then I realized
that it was a very very old friend of mine. At some point we took
different directions in our life but we were best friends when we
were
children and just with his body language on his bicycle I could
recognized him. It's difficult to explain how this happened but it
just did.”
