Bike n Skate

When the city's Lakes freeze over, Copenhageners gravitate to them. Our little family are no exception.


This guy was just spinning around in circles on his Christiania Bike for ages. Having a ball with his kid in the cargo box.




Getting to The Lakes by bike/trike is a given.




And that basket is perfect for storing your shoes whilst you're out on the ice.


Parking is rarely a problem.


Texting is no problem.


Bringing a friend is always a lovely idea.


And playing around is a requirement. Like running and sliding.


And it ain't no new-fangled thing, as this 1922 photo will attest.

Balancing Bicycle Ballerinas

Biking is a great way to improve your balance. The streets are full of street wise ballerinas balancing their body and bike in perfect harmony.

Balancing on your bike gives you a wonderful sensation like skating or snowboarding. You feel like the perfect extension of your mobile - or vice versa. Can be very practical too!


Mounting her cycle while holding both her mobile and her bag and telling off her lazy boy friend - talk about multitasking!


Practising for tight rope walking?


Sometimes it just feels like flying.


Happy cycling!

They took their time with it. As well they should.

Nature Pimped My Bike

I went off to Halifax and Montreal and when I got home to Copenhagen, nature had pimped my bicycle for me! How thoughtful!

Chauffeur Driven

Lots of Copenhagen families have invested in Cargo Bikes and Long John's or just an extra seat to to take their children - and all their assorted gear - for a ride.

Cabin comfort.


Crashed out - and ready to go home from the party - Dad looks like he could use a ride too!


An extra seat also goes a long way.


Happy cycling!

Montreal Bicycle Winter

I was in Montreal last week and it was brilliant to see so many bicycles on the streets. I didn't have a chance to photograph too much because of work, but here are some shots from the city's streets.

Winter Wonderland

Continuing the theme of winter cycling, here are some more shots of Copenhageners just getting on with it.

White as Snow

Yesterday we had the first real snow in Copenhagen this winter. Snow came during night and early morning and left us with a perfect sunny snow bright Sunday.

Cycling in snow can be a little tricky, so its best to reduce your normal pace and focus on keeping your balance.


The sunshine brought thousands of people into the streets. Lots of cyclists came out just to enjoy a ride through the urban landscape.


During most of the day the wind was low except for an occasional gust. It certainly did not feel as bad as she makes it look!


For Copenhagen kids yesterday was everything they could dream of; rich sticky white snow and sun all day. A lot of happy and tired children went to bed last night!


Happy cycling!
