Spring is in the Air

Yes. I Know. Its already been Spring everywhere else. But in Copenhagen its a novelty so our cyclists are making the most of it. Above: Classic White T with the sun in her hair. Below: All Black with white shirt.




Easy wear, sunglasses and a smile! Does anything look better?



A few keep to their senses and have jackets ready for morning and evening. I'm sniveling myself after braving it in short sleeves over the weekend.


Testing the summer gear.




Happy Cycling!

Lovely Leather Looks

Black leather jackets are as popular as ever. Easy elegance and practical for tricky Copenhagen Spring days. Above: Motto Guzzi style racing jacket. Below: Aero-inspired flaps.

Spring.

Now it is spring. For real. For life.

Pedestrian - Cyclist Conflict

Sometimes it's tough to get the shot.

Spoiled for Choice

Some days you just can't choose. Some days everyone is splendidly gorgeous.

Flash of Light

Spring is so far sporadic. Flashes of sunshine replaced by clouds. But my goodness when it shines, it lights up the lovely people with whom I share this city.

Springtime Love

We need to take a break from the Berlin Cycle Chic extravanganza to bring you this shot from the cycle tracks of Copenhagen. Intelligent and aesthetic use of your time while waiting for the light to change.

Love in the springtime.

The Gloves Are Off

Yesterday was brilliant. Really the first springlike day. Sat outside a favourite café for lunch with Mary. In bright sunshine, with no jackets on. We had a beer to celebrate the first day of spring. Look at these photos. No gloves on! Bring on the spring!

The Tail End of Winter?

Let's hope... and I mean really hope... that these will be the last few photos of the winter. It's time for spring. We need it, want it, yearn for it. Bring on the sun. Bring on the lux. Bring on the anthropology.

Marching into More Rain and Wind

The weather is letting us down here in Copenhagen. Spring is as late as an Italian train. It's usually hard to remember the weather in previous years but fortunately we have the Cycle Chic Archive to help us determine if this crappy weather is normal or if we're being robbed blind of sunlight and warmth. Above and below, photos from on or about this day in March, 2007.

THIS DAY IN 2010

On this date last year I was speaking in Mexico City and doing Cycle Chic events in the city like a photo shoot, and a Cycle Chic Critically Stylish Ride. Which, after perusing these archive photos of what the weather is like in early March in Copenhagen, is really where I should be. Viva Mexico DF.

Sideways Shadows Seasons

Autumn.

Summer.

Spring.

I'll get back to you on the winter version. Give me a couple of months.

La Rouge

We're suffering unjustly under grey skies this May. Normally, in May the temperature hovers around 25 or 30 degrees. But we're getting there. Riding without a jacket is certainly a step in the right direction.
