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!

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 Redux

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!

Winter Sniffles

It may be Monumental Motion, the constant, human-powered structure that is bicycle culture in Copenhagen, but hey... there are wonderful little human moments on every stretch of cycle track.

It's winter and even though we're waiting for the snow this year, our noses do that winter thang... they run.

Christmas Trees and Bicycles

It's the 24th of December. Jul in Denmark. Yesterday, this tree was heading to a good home on a good cargo bike.

And wrapping paper was being speedily transported to waiting presents in a bicycle basket.

Cycle Chic wishes you all a wonderful holiday season!






Of course, nobody says you need a tree to decorate... :-)

The Winter Jinx Post

I know, I know. We don't want to think about it. Winter.

The last two winters in Copenhagen - and most of Europe - have been bitter cold. Sub-zero temperatures hitting -30 C with the wind chill and snowstorm after snowstorm rolling in.

Remember, open your closet... it's filled with cycling clothes.

So let's try to jinx winter by posting about winter cycling. It's a long shot, but we're willing to give it a go.

The bicycle is still the quickest way to get around.

Colourful scarves add spice to the snow.

Bring a friend.

Don't stand still for too long.

There is always something to share the snowstorm with in Copenhagen.

Shopping knows no seasonal borders.

Bring your phone.

And your umbrella.

And a snowboard...



Colourful knit is the new goretex.


Here are a couple of films we made. One for fun and one for the City of Copenhagen.
