Portraits of cyclists: Stina - "Cycling is freedom"
“I'm
from Copenhagen but I live in Stockholm right now. In both cities, I
cycle every day.
In
Stockholm the organisation of the city makes my bike commute very
different from Copenhagen. Here you can get from one point to another
in around 20 minutes in most cases.
For
instance, Stockholm could make more space for cyclists, create wider
lanes, and maybe streets without cars at all.
In
Copenhagen, cycling is the symbol of freedom. It can take you
everywhere, acting as a support
to help you go forward.
I
don't have a favorite route, I like discovering new spots. For
instance, I've never been here before.
My
"man" bike has many things that are not working yet but
it's very light that it takes me from place to place so quickly. I
actually live on my bike. I carry tons of things all the time.”
“Do
you have any anecdote to share which happened when you were cycling?”
“Once,
I was cycling close to the City Hall and this guy, who for many years
have been staying here to hand out free newspapers, tried to stop
every cyclists who passed in front of him and kiss them on the cheek.
He tried to make his day and the one of the cyclists a bit funnier.
Cyclists laughed since it brought a good atmosphere on the bike
track.”

At the Beach
Denmark's beaches are full of bikes and Copenhagen is no exception. Still a little too cold for going into the water. But summer spirits are already high. Above; relaxed riding with Screaming Yellow Jersey and Orange Sneakers. Below; The Sea Breeze breathes buoyancy into her hair.
Sand Coloured from cap to heels to match.
Happy Cycling!

Cycle Chic Turns Seven
Seven years ago today, this blog we call Copenhagen Cycle Chic was born. While the Photo That Launched a Million Bicycles was taken, as you probably know, on November 14, 2006, the blog started in June the year after. It's been a wild and glorious ride and we love every minute of it. The testimonials we've recieved through the years are treasures to us, as are all the people we continue to meet around the world who thank us for this blog and the inspiration. Inspiration is, however, a two-way street and we are constantly inspired by the people we meet and photograph.
For no particular reason, here are some recent photos from Luxembourg to celebrate our birthday.

Tokyo Chic Post Card
Spent a weekend in Tokyo. Japan must be the most Photographic country on Earth - and Tokyo cyclists are as Chic as Copenhagen's. Was happy to see that biking continues to grow in Tokyo. Maybe some of the many Danish bike promotions had a little impact after all(?)

Portraits of cyclists - Marcel & Simone: “We can really enjoy the city when we cycle”
"We're from Copenhagen. We cycle every day with this kind of clothes.
We like to cycle because it's fast and we can really enjoy the city. We can go to places that we can not reach by car."

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!
