Portraits of cyclists - Astrid: “Explorer” is a nice name for a bike


Astrid - Portrait





































I cycle every day, everywhere.”


Where did you find your bike ?”
I got it for free since I found it in my parents' garage. It's very old. I like it. It's written « explorer » on it and I thought it's a nice name for a bike.
I found these handles in Berlin.”

Do you feel that you belong to the cyclists community of Copenhagen ?  Do you think there is a specific cyclist culture in Copenhagen ?”
When I was younger, the bike culture in Denmark was nicer. The cyclists were more friendly on the bike lanes. Now, I think people are a little bit more aggressive. But I like biking and I'll keep on cycling. I'm definitely a part of the cyclists community of Copenhagen.
Actually, we are more and more cyclists every day. The bike lanes are too narrow now. We need more space.”

You cycle with a nice coat today, where does it come from?”
It comes from Japan.”
