Sometimes all we think of is getting from A to B. No frills. No second thoughts. But always in the most splendid way; on our bikes!

The perfect Copenhagen beer


Charlea from Canada in Copenhagen 1
Cool Charlea is visiting from Canada. So – what’s her plans for the weekend?
Charlea from Canada in Copenhagen 1
She plans on going to the Mikkeller bar at Vesterbro - a bar started by two home brewers who in a few years went from hobby brewing in the kitchen to national and international recognition, read more.
So if you fancy a nice cold beer this weekend, why not do  like Charlea – and choose between more than 15 local variants?
Peace & blog love,

Where to bring your bike for a Copenhagen drink


Karen and Claus 2
Copenhageners Karen & Claus on a sunny day. The hat of Claus is bought “right next to Illum”. Where?! I guess there are a minimum of 50 stores next to Illum, so good luck if you want exactly the cool hat aka Claus ;) The good news is you can just step into the department store Illum and enjoy a wide selection of nice hats – and don’t you just love it when men wear a hat?
Bicycle friendly Copenhagen
Where to go this weekend? Grab your bike and head for classic Cafe Victor in Ny Østergade:

Happy Friday!

Leggings & Jeggings

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2013 - 1201

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?

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!
A lazy Copenhagen Sunday
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!
A lazy Copenhagen Sunday
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.

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.
