Took me awhile to pull this together. But I did learn some stuff there-- cycling-wise!
So here's the little blog post and pics...Copenhagen chic, cargo bikes, the bike museum exhibit, etc.
I know, some unexpected analogies in the write-up.

great write- up. I really enjoyed seeing how "the other half" lives. I wish I could live in a place like that one day. 36% ride their bike to school or work and 60% ride daily??? WOW!
Compare that with the 0.1% that do it in my town and that's inspiring!

Though my partner had already visited Copenhagen 2 yrs. ago and I heard abit about it, I was abit unprepared for the experience. (or maybe I don't listen enough to him. Terrible me. Our lifestyle is very cycling dominant..that after awhile, you know what I mean...)
It's one thing to read about cycling intensive cities, but it's another thing to be in the midst of the cycling whirlwind action all over the place --daily.

Nice! It's hard to imagine that many cyclists in one place at the same time.
We have a few posties who deliver on bikes around here, it's lovely to see.Dawes Cambridge Mixte, Specialized Hardrock, Specialized Vita.
