Cycle Chic in San Francisco

These days, Copenhagen Cycle Chic is in San Francisco where the number of cyclists is booming. 

Well, the dominant profile among cyclists is still "young men riding race bike". But, it is now diversifying quickly and "citizen cyclists" are enjoying more and more the streets of SF, steep or flat. 
Whatever the district, cyclists are reclaiming the streets:


Skirt & bike race on Polk Street


One saddle for two to ride on Valencia Street (Mission)


Shopping with a cruiser on Marina


Hipster in Mission


Woolly hat & tank top on Aquatic Park

More cyclists from SF here.

Portraits of cyclists: 1976 SCO bike rider: “I came across a guy on the same bike. We looked at each other bike and said “hello”

"I'm on my way to the office. I work for a suit company called "Lasse".
I fell good when I'm riding my bike. It's quite easy to ride: single speed, back break, limited maintenance.

"You always have to wear nice clothes due to work. Do you think that cycling is compatible with it?"
"Not always. I have a winter bike as well, for the rainy days, with a mudguard."

"Do you have a good memory related to your bike?"
"Yes of course, especially in Copenhagen. It happens with my old SCO bike (a Danish brand), known to be the world champion bike from 76 and quite rare in Copenhagen. I came across a guy on the same bike, the frame was almost the same. We looked at each other bike and said "hello".

Hot Guys in Copenhagen Latin Quarter

How come my bike & I always end up in Copenhagen Latin Quarter?! Even on my way to work in Illum I make sure to make a detour; step off at Vesterbro Station and bicycle the extra mile. Through Studiestræde...

Maybe it's because this area lifts my spirits. Being here makes me want to be all that I can be, motivates me, makes me dare to be different - YAY :)

Or - maybe it's just because of all the cool guys?

Have a look...

Well, hello there (;

Plenty of them.

In hot shoes.

They may even be cleaning cool cafe Atlas Bar before opening hours...

Peace & Blog Love,
a-g xx

Blind Me With Your Colours

Not known for their colours, Copenhageners will try to show otherwise. Bring on the colours!


I had to stop Maria outside Tjili Pop as I love her Aztec-imspired jacket. Teamed with those sunglasses and I am sold!


Copenhageners are loving the colourful highlights it seems!


Here's Emily on her way from long day shopping in the city. Sadly she didn't some away with anything but lovin' her cute look (including the bike!).


Her favourite bike accessory is of course her flower-weavened basket. She showed me the lights there had been installed so that at night her rose basket lights up. Of course, making my girly heart skip a beat.

Portraits of cyclists: Cecilia - "I like colors and cute little cupcakes"

"Is it important for you to have a customized bicycle? Does it suit you?"
"Yes, it suits me perfectly. I like colors and cute little cupcakes".

Pastels and Beiges Add a Soft Touch

Is it a bathrobe or is it a light coat? Who cares! It looks great.


Long coat over a long delicate lace dress looks like something Florence Welch (Florene + The Machine) would wear. Gorgeous!


Oversized beige coat. Simple and so so sophisticated.

Pastels and beiges look beautiful in the streets of Copenhagen. Anyone who has ever visited can spot this specific colour palette all over the city.

Hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend!

How To Get Copenhagen Hipster Happy - in 29 seconds

Hi Copenhagen Friend,

What a day! Continuing The Hipster Way aka Miss K.E.G.'s post from yesterday. First I meet Aske…

Such a cool and friendly Copenhagen dude – his hat is from Wardrobe 19 in our Latin Quarter! He loves to take a break at Hipster Bridge on his way home from school. And enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

Speaking of Hipster Bridge. I continue over the street to The Bridge, noting I’m the proud No. 25.780 cyclist passing it today.

And then.. holy mama, approaching a real Hipster Bridge party, performed by Karmakanonen.

You just need to watch & listen to this – I guarantee your mood will have a Boost For Real:

Am I right or am I right...? And LOL – recalling my test drive at Freetown Christiania 4 months ago...

Hey Friend, you actually need to watch my video on the blog to see my embarrassing Karmakanonen Tour De Christiania ;)

Hope I made you smile today! You take care - ENJOY your weekend.

Over & out,

a-g go-go

Portraits of cyclists: Jesper - "I like being able to go where I want, when I want"

"I use my bike for everything. I don't use other kinds of transport.
I feel free when I use my bike. I like being able to go where I want, when I want. I'm a real cyclist. I don't like waiting for the bus."

"What is your relationship to your bike?"
"I hate my bike. I'm looking for a new one."


Brown leather bag, vintage style, perfectly matching the Brooks saddle.

Christania All The Way...

We're trying to make every minute count in what seems to be left over of the summer. Best way to see the city is to hitch a ride with a friend. The Christania bike making this wonderful expedition possible. Here's a look of how to make best use of these rides.


Surely there's room for one more...


May I say the coolest and scariest boombox bike ever. Sick (In British English = Awesome.)


Taken from Svajerløb'13 over the weekend. Someone's lucky enough to have creative parents!

Wishing everyone an awesome (sick) weekend!
