150%

I can´t help posting this shot as a follow-up on Mikaels "Totally Copenhagen" post of yesterday. It sort of completes the coverage :-)

Summer's Last Stand

Make no mistake. Summer lingers on, embracing with gentle warm breezes. But make no mistake... autumn waits in the wings. But it ain't over til the cycle lady sings. We're enjoying it while we can.

Cycle Parade

I rode in a little cycle parade last week in association with a C02 neutral festival here in Copenhagen. Here's two of the other cyclists. You can read more about the parade and the festival over at Copenhagenize.com.

Totally Copenhagen and then some

I've seen this bicycle around town before but only recently had the chance to photograph it.

It is 150% Copenhagen. The century-old tradition of adorning the basket with flowers is, here, taken to a splendid extreme. The gold paint job adds a personalised touch.

I love this detail on the back fender. It's a bicycle fit for our golden cycling girl who has surveyed her two-wheeled kingdom from her perch on the City Hall Square since the 1930's:

Late Summer Balmy Backlight

These late summer balmy days are intoxicating and flirtacious in their un-Nordicness. The summer lingers on and Copenhageners aren't complaining. On the Cycle Chic calender for 2009 the text for September reads:

September is a lottery, although with good odds for warm days as we gently glide towards autumn. It is relaxing and while we resigned to the inevitable fact that the seasons will change, we enjoy the tail end of summer while we can.

Indeed.

September Sun

Rush hour does not seem so bad when an appropriately warm september breeze flows through the city.

Tuesdays

The Copenhagen version of the SUV moves gently and elegantly through traffic.

Copendoggie enjoying the ride.

Tokyo is All White

Another series of Tokyo Chic Chic brilliance from Stephen Crawford.


From the looks of it, everything's all white in Tokyo these days.

The fashionistas of the city go hand in hand with the thriving bicycle culture.

Style over speed, indeed.

Dublin Shares

Dublin has now joined the growing league of cities that can boast a bike share system. Let's hope that it brings out the style. These photos from The Irish Times show that Dubliners are off to a good start.

Finding the Spot...

...to park. Not everybody does a good job at it. The white bike to the left seems to be parked by a rather parking challenged person, but often bypassers will just move a misplaced bike to a more appropriate place. Usually no big deal.
