Bicycle Trolley

Ride your bicycle, absolutely. Do it daily. But don't underestimate the possibilities of using the bicycle for all manner of transport. Like in this lovely photo taken in the Nouveau Bo-Bo neighbourhood of Vesterbro. Kids and their supermum heading home from kindergarten/school.

Bicycle Paparazzi

Honestly. You simply can't move around this city without getting photographed on a bicycle.

In this case it was a friend and photographer, Nicolai, who was doing the clandestine shooting.

That's Hans from Larry vs Harry on the pink Bullitt cargo bike.

And some Cycle Chic guy in the hat.

Copenhipsters on a Bicycle Ride

Complete with gin on the basket. Wicked.

The blogger du jour in Denmark is called Copenhipster. He mocks and teases the hipster/jetset/wannabe scene with sharp wit and clever irony. He went for a bicycle ride with his friends and the pictures are worthy of Cycle Chic - albeit Tongue in Cheek Cycle Chic, but hey.

As he writes in the blog post, "High on gin, perfect selv-orchestration and pent up energy we flew across the summer landscape on our two-wheeled lovers."

Insert all the irony you want in that line, but it's still lovely to read.

"Style conscious cyclists! Match your socks to your handlebars!"

Check out the rest of the photos (and text if you do Danish) on Copenhipster's blog.

Boris and Kelly in London

Here we have the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson promoting the upcoming Skyride in the city with Kelly Brooks. Ms Brooks has clearly understood the very simple concept of Cycle Chic, as has Boris.

Alas, the journalist at the Metro newspaper who wrote this article clearly hasn't got a clue. Poor thing.

Vuelta a Espana for the Rest of Us

Felix Made Me a Drawing

The Boy Wonder whipped together his own interpretation of Cycle Chic and gave it to me. Brilliant.

Pride

Street party in Copenhagen last week. Gay Pride rolled through town and the whole town - regardless of sexual orientation - came out to celebrate The Pride.








And if anyone is interested, there is now an online repository for photos I take of things that are not people on bicycles. Zakkatography. Followable on Twitter, too. That's how damned modern I am. Wish you'd pop by for a visit.

Late Summer Hat

The hats of summer linger on. And thank goodness for that.

And for an entertaining film about Sherwood Forest Cycle Chic, check out this link for some Robin Hood on bicycles fun.

Uprighteousness

No wonder the upright bicycle is the most popular style on the planet - and has been for over a century.
