Copenhagen City Bike

Copenhagen's bike share system is unique as the only large scale free bike share system that actually has worked. However, time is up. New and better bike share systems can be found elsewhere.




Still, the old bikes will chug along this Summer...



...and Winter.



Until its time to pick up the last passenger.

Smok'in

There's no denying it. Smoking has become part of the daily commute for many who find it increasingly difficult to smoke indoors and at work.




Unfortunately many smokers tend to throw their buts into the streets. Cycling smokers no different than the rest.



Campaigns to make smokers stop trashing the streets have been to no avail so far.



Today, more than half of all Copenhagen's street trash is cigarette buts(!) And emptying your pipe into the street is no better.

Red Riding in the Hood

Red is a bicycle evergreen. Earlier this year someone suddenly noticed three red van de Falck bicycles in one and the same post. Turns out that there's lots of them around. Above; Cycling is Fun! Below; Strolling along.




Where's the Wolf?



A Place in the Sun.



Guys ride them too!

Petite Bags

Saturday we looked at Grand Bags - today its time for the Petite Bags. Above; Superior color match. Below; Amazingly elegant leather combo.




Colorful fabric on leather.



French style classic leather portemonnaie.


After browsing 1,000+ pictures my conclusion is that Copenhagen men just do not use petit bags ever - for anything at all. Semi-petit shoulder bag is as close as it gets.

Grand Bags

Bigger. Wider. Higher. The popular Grand Bags stand out and loudly declare themselves the ultimate in accessory depositories. Above; Grand Party Bag for a party girl. Below; Practical elegance.




Relaxed ride carrying an easy going Grand Cotton Bag



Riding in style and with confidence.



For the men; The ultimate Grand Bag!

While We Wait...

Classy Copenhagen cyclists caught waiting. Above maybe thinking; "Am I too early?" Or below; "Where is he?"



"Will it ever turn green?"



"Ready to go whenever you are."



"I'm really too hip for this bike!"



Happy Cycling!

Amazing Alpaca

Still going strong since the 1970's; Knitted Peruvian Alpaca Style Hats. Mostly worn loose so the flaps sometimes have a life of their own.




Comes in a variety of plentiful colors and patterns.



Updated variant with brand labelling.



Goes well with the men too.

Winter's Last Stand - Hopefully

If you follow me over at Instagram you may have seen these shots. This year, winter is hanging around like that last irritating guest at a party. Winter is lovely. We just think it should know when to leave. It has overstayed its welcome here in Copenhagen.

Spring, it seems, has a problem getting here. The trees and flowers have yet to bloom - and we're in April! It's getting to be too much. So let's send Winter a signal. Thanks for coming, now get off our lawn. Here are some photos from Winter's Last Stand.







A little piece of Brazil in the form of a Brazilian flag chain sleeve on my bicycle. And my green retro headlamp really believes in spring.

The Lulu stills loves the ride, but the girl is itching for spring, too.

Until it comes, we'll have to fabricate it ourselves.

Motivational Posters

Spring is here. The perfect time to present some (ironic) motivational cycling posters. Enjoy!













Happy Cycling!
