Leave your waterproof bag at home and switch for a vintage brown leather bag.

Going to work and checking his e-mails...

Leggings & Jeggings

Not into the code of the Fashion Police I can only state the incontrovertible; Leggings and Jeggings are galore here in Copenhagen. Comfortable, practical and warmer than stockings they go really well with biking. Above; stylish flower patterned jeggings. Below; half&half borderline Bordeaux.




Elegant snakeskin leggings topped off with a matching leather jacket – way off limits according to some. But what’s not to like?



Wow-outfit; see-me silver coded leggings with point blank stilettoes!



Finally, a Copenhagen favorite; traditional leggings with a protective wind shell for those frosty & windy mornings.



Happy Cycling!

Zipping Zippers

Zippers are zipping through Copenhagen zigzagging around town. Above; great jacket/pant zip combo. Below; Horizontal and vertical zips combined.




Cool cat with oversized zippers.



Full double row zippered dress.



For the gents an elegant, simple single line zipper.

Bike guide: What to do in Copenhagen this weekend

… it’s weekend, the sun is shining - well, they say it will on Saturday - you want to enjoy Copenhagen, so what do you do?

Hey Friend, do what I did last Sunday; grab your bike and head for Copenhagen Vesterport Station!

It’s possible to carry my bike up the stairs, in a special side slide. But I’m lazy, so I take the elevator… Notice the candy colored  Palads Theatre in the background – love it!

The reason why I choose to step off at Vesterport is I’d like to bicycle through The Latin Quarter. Here’s always exciting people & places to see – here I am in Studiestræde.

Already in Nyhavn! Saying hi to Mr. Muffin.

Maybe the best ice cream in Copenhagen?

Join me further on to The Little Mermaid & some ugly (NOT) ducklings aka H.C. Andersen - click here to see more pictures on my blog CPH BLONDE (O;

You take care, happy bicycling out there!

Peace & Love,

Mid-June: shorts and sun

 Hi Cycle Chic readers,

I'm the blogger of Byliv in Copenhague and I'm glad to contribute to Copenhagen Cycle Chic. I'm French and after moving from Paris, I enjoy biking everyday in Copenhagen.

Cyclists do enhance the city !

I'll try to capture every week what is trendy to wear when you are cycling in Copenhagen.

Find out the result through pictures every Wednesday and share your comments !

  

Second week of June: shorts - from mini-shorts for the girls to Bermuda shorts for the boys - are the outfit to wear for biking to work or school. Yes, this week is sunny and hot, and Copenhagen is a casual chic city.

Street Photography by a Five Year Old

Everybody sees their city differently. What does the city look like through the eyes of a five year-old girl named Lulu-Sophia? She's my kid. She grows up in a home filled with cameras. So I decided to find out.

The Canon 7D is always on the window sill at our place and, when we're riding around on the Bullitt cargo bike, I let Lulu-Sophia carry the 7D in the box.

I never say what she should take photos of. I just say "take photos if you want". Totally up to her. I don't notice what she does but when I load the photos onto the computer, I get to see what she sees. It's wonderful.

I've made a little set of her street photography work on Flickr but here are some of her Cycle Chic shots from the urban landscape. Both from the flat and from the Bullitt.


















And of course, the set wouldn't be complete without a shot of your big brother, Felix.

Super Elegant Strides

Some people look as great walking their bikes as riding them! Above; determined stride on a cold Winter’s day. Below; pure chic’ness with a woolly top to complement the curly hair.




Stylish simple strolling.



Airy summer color combo.



Looking good in the sun despite all the archetype Copenhagen Gent’s lackadaisical style effort.



Happy Cycling!

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.



Happy Cycling!
