Les Nuits Nordiques

Rainy Day
Just a fraction of a second too quick. I was aiming to get this Copenhagener framed in the middle of the passing van. Oh well.
Nighttime Concerto
Rainy nights, a symphony of lights and motion.

Beauty and the Bike


This brilliant documentary called Beauty and the Bike wanted to answer one simple question: "Why do British girls stop cycling?"

The film follows two groups of girls, one in Darlington, UK and the other in Bremen, Germany, looking for the answer and the solution to the problem.

Above is an 8 minute version of the film. What an inspiration.

Red & Purple

Red
Since Mikaels flu has been coordinated with me getting a fabulous new lens (plus nice weather) I might as well post a few more shots from the last days "new gear excitement".
Purple
Apart from the impeccable colour matching, noteworthy is the stylish way of keeping the hands from the freezing winter air. At this time it is a bit overkill, but soon, I fear, they will be highly apropriate.

Citizens

Citizen Traffic
I love this town. What I don't like is having 39+ degree fever for five days in a row. My two kids have been hit with influenza, too, so we've been pathetic together in the sofa for days. Wifealiciousness, fortunately, got off lightly with a cold. So that's why the posting has been sparse of late. Although Lars has carried the enormous weight of the Cycle Chic legacy on his sturdy shoulders quite effortlessly with his recent photographic brilliance.

I should be back on the cycle tracks at full speed [a relaxing 12 km/h, of course], in a couple of days.

Sun at Last

Sun at Last #1
As Mikael noticed the other day, the hours of sun so far for november could be counted on one hand. So when we finally got a full day of sun here yesterday, I just could not stay inside although I really should have been working. I am sure I was not the only one enjoying some light.

Cycle Chic Calendar 2010


So it's that time of year again. Time for the Cycle Chic Calendar 2010. 12 months of Copenhagen right there on your wall. The chic cyclists of Copenhagen have inspired a global movement wherein cycling is being rebranded and redemocratized - in the most fashionable way. We're taking back the bike culture and the Cycle Chic Calendar will make a fine addition to any wall, fridge, office.

The calender is available for online purchase from Lulu.com. It measures 34.29 cm x 48.25 cm, comes with coil binding and is printed on Gloss White paper (100# weight).

When you click over to Lulu.com you can see a preview of the pages and zoom in and out and stuff. Let it load, sometimes it's slow.

Oh, and I called it a Limited Edition because it only helps you keep track of dates for 12 months from Janauary 2009 to Decemeber 2009. Which, considering the fact that it's been 14 billion years since the Big Bang, is a rather limited amount of time.

Treat yourself, buy it as a Christmas present for someone you fancy or just shrug and not bother and keep visiting the blog each day. Whatever works for you.

Going Home

IMG_6361-Edit
I have to say I am enjoying the night shooting too. The absence of sun makes daylight quite dull in comparison to the partly illuminated night. Or more correctly: The dark part of the day (sun down at 15:55).

Green Raincoat
One more shot in the dark. Off course you have a green raincoat to go with a green bike.

Get well soon Mikael :-)

Mother
My favourite way of riding with my daughter, as communication and intimacy is really good. Most women use a child seat on the back though, due to the lack of the horizontal bar (in the bike frame). But as you can see, a mens frame is in use here.

Half-Light November

City Hallishness Dapper
What a dismal spot of news last night. I heard that the record for fewest hours of sunshine in Denmark, in November, is 11 hours. The average for the month is 54 hours of sunshine.

So far this November we've had... three. Three lousy hours of sunshine.
Copenhagen Corner Cargo
Just ain't fair.
