CPH Cycle Chic in A-dam

This is Marc from Amsterdamize who was so sweet to show Copenhagen Cycle Chic around Amsterdam this summer. We can't wait to drink him under the table if he ever dares to show up here in CPH...

A series of Amsterdam beauties:














To say whether Amsterdam or Copenhagen is the most cycle chic city is like having to choose between salty licorice and chocolate... (very difficult for a Dane, actually!)

But then, if you can combine the two (CPH & A-dam cycle chic), why bother?

Here's a video Marc shot while biking Velomama (aka Marie) around town. We're discussing the differences between Amsterdam and Copenhagen's bike culture - for instance the use of panniers and boxes vs. baskets, the use of bike locks and the extend of traffic regulation in the two cities...

All-Star

A definite candidate for the Copenhagen Cycle Chic All-Star Team. Smashing ensemble with shiny tights, heels, funky pink mini bike and partisan scarf.


I love this bike lane along one of the canals.

Rainbow Biking

The Danish summer is full of rain AND sun. Thus, all kinds of rainbows fill the streets...







As we've stated earlier at copenhagenize.com, colours make bikes and their owners stand out. They are a savoury spice to a rolling bike culture. Bring them on!

Killer heels, clunky old pink bike and proper traffic skills.
A frightfully delightful combination.

Guest Photo: Copenhagen

We love posting guest photos and when they are taken in our own town by a guest to the city, that's even better.

Thanks to our mate Sam from Madrid [Elsamu on Flickr], who visited Copenhagen last summer and was amazed by our chic cycling culture. This photo sums it all up for him... and for us.

Remember... if you're in possession of any chic cycling photos from other cities, be sure to let us know.

And remember, if you don't make bike commuting look effortless, you may be doing it wrong. Style over speed.

A flock of seagulls.
A pride of lions.
A gaggle of geese.
A murder of crows.
A pod of whales.

And... a hub of Copenhagen cyclists.
