Lørdag With Lars

We'll leave it up to Lars today - Lørdag [Saturday in Danish]. Brilliant shot. The little flowery thing in the hair is all the rage at the moment.

O-ba-ma.

More Great Moments in Cycling

Saturday Certainly

Pure brilliance from my mate Lars, who is one of the top film composers in the land when not photographing on his way to work.


One of our esteemed readers sent us this link to a book titled Romancing The Dead. I know nothing about the book - I just like the Cycle Chic on the cover. Fits well into the It's Not Just Us category.

We're pleased to have been translated, in part, into Czech! My mate Hynek is offering up the Five Senses Series for Czech readers. Nice one. Thanks, Hynek!

Sleek, Black Autumn

The sleek look of the Copenhagen autumn. Black tights and leggings in boots are all the rage on the bike lanes of the Danish capital this year.

The skirtguards of the city sigh a lonely sigh and resign themselves to waiting for the flowing, billowing skirts of the next distant summer. Although with a secret hope that the winter will be cold so that the cyclists will don long coats that require protection.

And a broken chainguard is of little concern. It's just a bike. The most important thing is YOU on the bike.

The Green Wave in Copenhagen from Copenhagenize on Vimeo.

Here's a cool little video I shot the other day. One of the main streets leading to the city centre features 35,000 cyclists each day. We have a Green Wave where if you cycle 20 km/h you'll hit green lights all the way. Have a look at the fantastic flow of bikes in the morning rush hour.

The music is Danish. The first track is a group called Ibens. The song is "Jeg savner min blå cykel" or I miss my blue, blue bicycle. An ode to the bicycle of childhood/youth. The second track is Tue West with "Sæt dig bag på min cykel" or Get up on the back of my bike... and enjoy it.

Just Another Day in Copenhagen

Just another day in Copenhagen. Just another Copenhagen cyclist.
Thanks so much to Lars, a fellow Copenhagener, for these guest photos. His eye for streetstyle is great and we're hoping he'll keep on sending photos in.


Purple is hot this autumn. It's official.
