The Family Tree

Now that christmas tree isn't going to walk home by itself, now is it?

Our little family made our way down to our good friends at Baisikeli - the sustainability organisation who send used Danish bikes to development projects in Africa. They're selling eco-Swedish-christmas trees to the neighbourhood this year.

What better way to get the tree home than in our Velorbis Long John?


There was a bit of brainstorming about how to get the tree... and the kids... home. Niels, from Baisikeli, and Wifealiciousness realise that we should tie the tree up a bit more so the kids don't have to chew on pine needles. In lieu of string, we just taped it. Lulu-Sophia looks on. Then Felix was put into the box to see if he would fit. He's loving it. And he fit.

On the way home we stopped to pick up some ice cream from the best ice cream makers in the nation: Paradis.
What better way to get the tree home but in the cargo box of our Long John.

At last we roll up to one of the bike sheds for one last corny photo before getting the tree up into the flat for prompt decoration.

Girl Warmer / Beer Cooler

This Copenhagen girl knows that having a warm coat that is enjoyable to wear, makes winter easier to bear. Add to that, the fact that the six-pack in her bicycle basket will be nicely cold when she arrives at her friends on this saturday evening. Cheers!

Oh, I forgot to say hi! I am new here, - or rather, my writing is. You may have seen some of my pics here during this fall, but now Mikael asked me if I wanted to do my own blogging. Basically I just enjoy taking pictures, but bicyclists frequently end up at the other end of my lens.
See you around!

Copenhagen Winter Cycle Chic

This is Copenhagen. Lovely fur coat, heels, massive handbag dangling from the handlebars, basket. Waiting casually for the light to change.

Ironically, this shot wasn't even meant to happen. I was wearing gloves and trying to adjust the ISO when the camera clicked. I was aiming to take a photo of the cross traffic flowing past in front of me. Instead, I got a brilliant spot of winter cycle chic that really says it all about cycling in Copenhagen.


Meanwhile, on another street corner..
