Kids Today

Sheesh. Kids today. Living a life of independent mobility in their city.

Wickedly Wonderful Wicker

Copenhagen girls love their bike baskets. Traditional, natural, designer style and modern fabrics. There's a bike basket for everyone but the wicker baskets still stand out as first choice in Copenhagen.




Bags, nick-knack and dogs fit nicely.



And for shopping the basket cannot be beat.



The only downside is that the harsh Danish weather tends to wear wicker baskets down.

Cycling the Frame in Berlin

Back in 1988, a short film - part documentary part art-film - was made, called Cycling the Frame. It was about the Berlin Wall back when West Berlin was still isolated from the West. The film follows a young girl (Tilda Swinton) and her thoughts as she cycles around West Berlin alongside the 96 mile long, iconic, symbol of the cold war.

The above trailer is for the 2009 follow up to the original film. Tilda Swinton cycles once again along the same route, commenting on what she sees. Brilliant stuff.

Check out www.Invisible-Frame.com for more about these two works.

Low Tech Security

In a world obsessed with often useless technological gadgets, some people prefer the ol' skool, human touch.

On this one, the owner was a little less humourous. She wrote: "Next time, don't touch my bicycle. If you do, I'll see red. Thanks."

Riding the Identical Twins

Every day I take you for a ride. Up and down. Gliding with an endless stride.




Sleek & Elegant. You are my pride.



Shiny and New. Only you two will do.



Until I reluctantly pack you away. To air a woolly clone on a cold Winter's day.



Happy Cycling!
