Carry On, Copenhagen

Two Way Street
Classic Copenhagen street scene, including bikes and a cargo bike ridden by a Supermum in heels.
Blue on blue
City Hall Square one day. Blue on blue with a poncho-clad Supermum.

For more about Danish cargo bike culture, I have an article online at The Los Angeles Times right here.

Sunday Somethings

Cargo Bike Supermum
She's got her own thing going on and it works for her.
Interesting Things to Look At. *
There are certain photos I've taken that are Cycle Chic All-Stars. This is an older photo, but it is one of my personal favourites. I hadn't seen it for a while, had a look, and thought I'd repost it.
Felixio
Cycle/Football Chic for kids. Felix heading home from a football tournament. Complete with a well-deserved medal around his neck and shinpads on his legs.
Copenhagen Nursing
A Copenhagen nurse doing her rounds. Visiting the elderly and/or infirm in their homes. By bike, of course.

Pleasurable

Wait
A calm, relaxed and fashionable moment waiting for the red light to change.
Beachness
Bike rides at the beach are always pleasurable.
Fasten
She took her time carefully fastening all manner of newly purchased things to her bike. I find this pleasurable when I have to do it myself. The stuff on the ground ended up on the little front rack. I wanted to get a photo of her cycling away but to be honest, I couldn't be bothered waiting.

Carry On, Copenhagen

Canopy and Clouds
A little batch of Copenhagen Cargo Bike Supermum photos from last week. Coincedentally, four of them riding Christiania Bikes. Above, a crossing moment on the King's New Square under moody clouds. The canopy helps in the event of rain.
Supermum
Waiting for the light to change. The two kids in the box were sitting on their bench reading library books. How lovely is that?
Pink Riding
Another classic Copenhagen transport shot.
Family Ride
A family out for a ride. I suspect they might be tourists, but that is wonderful that they are seeing the city in a Copenhagenized state.
A.C. Perchs
And here's a Nihola bike with camoflage canopy outside Europe's oldest tea shop, A.C. Perch's Thehandel. My friend Christian's family have been running the shop for generations. They've just opened a tea salon upstairs. Even if you don't drink tea, pop inside for an aromatic experience. They do a great online sales service as well, shipping to tea lovers all over the world.


We're pleased that our Cycle Chic message is spreading. One of our readers, Lisa, sent us this link from the Canadian newspaper The Globe & Mail. Copenhagen Cycle Chic Goes To Canada.

Based on the tone of the article, it's as though the journalist JUST realised that it is possible to ride in style and in heels. It's a bit corny the way she explains things, but hey, it's all good news for Cycle Chic.
