Snowy Details

As you can see from the pictures above, whether it is snowing or not, the daily bicycle commuter does not change clothes to particular winter gear when the weather changes the grey urban landscape to a white layer. Urban cycling in winter does not require your wardrobe to have something specific. Just the typical winter clothes will do and that is what you can see in the streets of Copenhagen. Life still goes on and it is still fun and easy.

Happy Cycling and don't forget to follow us on Instagram @cycle.chic.republic !

Viking Biking in February

Some might say that they are urban heroes, but cycling all year round in Copenhagen is a common thing. 75 % of bicycle commuters do it. Snowflakes in your eyes while trying to pass by some slower bicycle user, or just perfectly created desire lanes on the street. Viking biking is exciting and snow on the ground or temperature below zero won't stop bicycles to roll on the streets, because still, it is the easiest and fastest way to get from A to B. Moreover, the winter city finally changes from grey to a layer of white. And there is no other way how to enjoy that then taking your bicycle and go outside.

Happy Cycling!

Winter Ride

Some more Viking Biking. This is my route to work each day at Copenhagenize Design Co.. Up over Knippels Bridge. 75% of Copenhageners cycle all winter. On all sorts of bikes.

Along Hans Christian Andersen's Boulevard, rush hour looks like this. It's only one light cycle but a bit of snow doesn't stop the bicycles.

Cargo bikes roll on, as well.

Like any other day, I stop at Sweet Treat for coffee before getting to the office. A fantastic little café to visit if you're in town.

Viking Biking

Winter is upon us here in Copenhagen. Snow last week. Temperatures below freezing - and even farther with the inevitable wind chill. Still, the bicycles rolled on.

What To Drink After #VikingBiking

If you follow either Cycle Chic or Copenhagenize you may have seen the #vikingbiking hashtag on Twitter or Instagram. We were amused to discover that a variation of the hashtag exists as a product. Biking Viking coffee, available online at Ingebretsens.

Uh oh... we just discovered they have chocolate, too.
