Fashion Shopping

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2011 - 3726

Fashion and luxury brands get their money's worth of exposure when people bike home with their latest prizes.

Drizzle & Frizzle

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2011 - 0471

It rains often, but seldom hard in Denmark. So many people just try to ignore the fact and whiz off through the drops.

In summer a double layer can quickly make you as wet inside as outside!

Wool and knitware goes a long way, if the rain is not too persistent.

Copenhagen City Bike

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2012 - 7000

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...

Until its time to pick up the last passenger.

Smok'in

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2011 - 2646

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.

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2012 - 7232


Unfortunately many smokers tend to throw their buts into the streets. Cycling smokers no different than the rest.
Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2012 - 7854


Campaigns to make smokers stop trashing the streets have been to no avail so far.
Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2012 - 8655


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

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2013 - 0133

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.

Petite Bags

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2012 - 4059

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

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.

While We Wait...

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

Amazing Alpaca

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2011 - 1039

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.
