Portraits of cyclists: “My son is 6 and I cycle with him in Copenhagen”

“I'm from Copenhagen. I cycle every day to go to work and to take my son to school.”

“Can you remember the first day you were able to ride your bike on your own?”

“No, but I remember the first day I rode my bike to school. I fell just in front of my classmates.”

“How old were you?”

“I was 6 or 7.

My son is 6 and I bike with him in the streets of Copenhagen. I always stay next to him, but he rides his own bike. He learned to cycle very early. He was 3 years old and I can say that he cycles very well. I feel safe when I see him cycling. He knows where to stop, what to look at.”

Saint Petersburg in the Sun

I was in Saint Petersburg last week for a great conference. We went for a bike ride and then spotted these cool locals just rolling around the city in the sun, enjoying a bike ride in style.


St P has a long way to go to be a cool, bicycle-friendly city, but things are getting better.

Portrait of cyclists - Teen couple cyclists: “We bike to school every day together”

"I'm from Copenhagen, I cycle every day to my high school. In my class, people leaving far away from the high school don't come by bike. But all the other students do.We bike because we like that. It's refreshing. It wakes me up in the morning.

Cycling is healthy when you cycle at least 20 minutes every day."

"Do you have a favorite route in the city?"
"I like to bike around in parks. I find that very cozy, even romantic."

"We bike to school together every day. I cycle to her apartment every morning to pick up."
"... or I pick him up."

Copenhagen Girls with Perfect Ponytails

The Perfect Ponytail - on bike… was spotted by me yesterday in Copenhagen. Her nude heels on a retro bicycle just complete the great look.

These two girls know how to walk a bike.

How to wait for the green light – and look stylish at the same time.

This guy I caught observing Copenhagen Girls with Perfect Ponytails…

You have a wonderful weekend!

Portraits of cyclists: Katja – “I like to get around at my own pace”

"I'm from Copenhagen and I cycle everyday.

I like to listen to my music when I cycle. It's pretty important to me. I like to get around at my own pace. I hate taking the public transportation as there is just too many people.

The funniest memories related to cycling that come to my mind are definitely the ones when I come back home after a party with a friend sitting at the back of my bike."

Wrap up the party!

The cyclists at Gothersgade were sunkissed this particular morning when heading for Kongens Nytorv. But I soon had to leave the streets for Copenhagen Meatpacking District…

The occasion was an end-of-project party for CycleLogistics.

Here is Mikael Cycle Chic (above) spotted through the bushes, in the Copenhagen showroom of Butchers & Bicycles.

And the beer was floating from the beer bike…

Dennis - “I bought this bike on the first day I settled down in Copenhagen”

“I'm from Sweden. I live in Copenhagen since I'm studying architecture here. I love the city. I cycle everyday to get around. I bought this bike on the first day I settled down in Copenhagen.

A few weeks after my bike disappeared. One day, I was getting off the bus when I saw it parked just around the corner. So, I took it back.”

“Do you have a favorite route to cycle through the city?”

“By the water! When the weather is sunny it can happen that I do a quick detour to follow the canals in Christianshavn. Sometimes, I also jump off the bike and walk.

The cyclists are the best thing about this city and being a cyclist make me definitely a part of it.”

“How do you think cycling in the streets of Copenhagen will influence the architect you'll become?”

“It's the best way to go from A to B. So, I'll pay attention to integrate bikes in my projects. I'd say to other cities: look at Copenhagen, how well it works. Just put white stripes on the streets and let the cyclists come.”

Portraits of cyclists - Sara & Jinnie: Cyclists from Århus

“I'm from Århus. I cycle every day. Århus is definitely a bicycle-friendly city.”

“We're in a “bike-street”. Do you appreciate this infrastructure? Do you cycle safely in this street?”

“No, not in this street particularly. The Municipality tries to make space for cyclists in the city, but here they were not able to make it bike-friendly.”

“What can you tell me about your bike?”

“It's just a bike. Cycling is my primary mode of transport but I have no particular interest in bikes. I found this basket in the street last week.

I go everywhere by bike and if a friend doesn't have one, I just tell him to jump on at the back of mine.”

“I'm from Århus. I use my bike mainly on week-end when I go to the city-centre. I think it's pretty complicated to get around by bike in Århus. I must get off my bike and walk quite often. Otherwise the route by bike can be longer.

I like my bike. I looked for one that was not like the other ones and I think this one is quite unique.

After purchasing my bike, I used it to get back home, but the handlebars were not tightened down properly and after a few meters I fell down in the middle of the street. It was a bad start. But now we get along much better.”

Fluffy, Free Flowing & Frizzling

Once again time to enjoy some fluffy, free flowing, frizzling Cycle Chic hair scenes. Even if the wind does its worst here in Copenhagen the Ladies trend seems to be towards longer & less restrained styles. Above; Snowy fluff - with the spirit of an avalanche. Below; Cool calculated free flowing silver waterfall.




Golden frizzling spirals climb the sun rays.



And the guys? Full retreat continues. Which reminds me I'd better get a cut soon!


Happy Cycling!
