The Mad Hatter

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2012 - 3211
With winter comes a wonderful assortment of hats and caps. Above its all black with a black bike and hand bag to go along. All of it topped of with an elegant fur Cossack hat - of course also in traditional black.

Below another stylish rider with a grey knit sur la tete set slightly to the side - as it should be.

Now for once we have a gentleman who is truly into style. Love that red/black Pork Pie Hat to go with his red scarf. Made sure to take his picture with the white background to make it easier to discern the hat's colours.

Some people are born with style. Simple, still beautiful combination of white knit beanie hat and matching gloves. And a glide to match!

Finally, a gray fur trapper hat - and an alternative solution with a simple scarf to go.

Legend

Christine
Christine was working with us at Copenhagenize Consulting for a month or so. She's from Seattle and is heading home after wrapping up her fellowship here in Copenhagen. She travelled the world looking at bicycle friendly cities and countries and was a brilliant addition to the Cycle Chic / Copenhagenize team. She'll be sorely missed. Check out her blog - Shift - for bicycle-related goodness.

I can always miss Barcelona. But a little bit more in the winter.

High and Dry

Drying

That clothes drying rack isn't going to walk home by itself, now is it?

Box
Or that big, heavy box filled with secrets?

As Black as Gold

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2011 - 0100
Here in Copenhagen, the night is as black as gold. And it is as good a time as any to ride your bike. Here is some of the night action from the mystical rider above to the nightclubbing girl below. Enjoy!

Ready to party.

Golden Morning

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2012 - 3225

Gold is the colour of bright wintry mornings here in Copenhagen. We even have an expression for it: "Morning is the golden hour". I was particularly intrigued the other day, with people seemingly breathing Gold on their morning ride.

Or just enjoying a brush of Gold while waiting for the lights to change.

This moment really caught my eye. A small puff of air is slowly drifting. And for an instant her golden mist hangs in the air before evaporating .

Cilly Cool Cycle Colours

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2011 - 0093
I still remember the first time I saw a pastel cycle rim. It was in Japan. "Wow, they really have their own style" I thought. But a visit to Copenhagen shortly after made it obvious that colour rims had become part of the increasingly innovative bicycle landscape. So today I'll celebrate the new Cilly Cool Cycle Colours with a pick of Copenhagen eye candy. Enjoy!

Ultimate blue - down to the ear phones!

My friend Sonia has a new episode of her Sonia's Travels. This one takes us to Milan and it's all about bicycles and style in that oh so stylish town.

Double Driving

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin 2011 - 0146
The picture with the two riders above was no coincidence. However, someone on flickr saw a completely different double and left the following comment "Kirstie Alley gets around". So much for waiting in the morning cold for the perfect moment! Clearly everyone will have their own interpretation. Here goes mine:

Twin brothers:

Bicycle Freedom

Bicycle Freedom
Caught this shot of my son in the late afternoon winter light as we were heading off somewhere to do something. Where and what is unimportant. This is bicycle freedom. The journey. The joy. The bicycle.
