Cycling along the old defences of Copenhagen , taking pictures of recreational bicycle infrastructure . The Cancer Society is focusing a lot on cycling and exercise as preventative measures against cancer in this sedentary . world The route took me over a motorway section that I'd only ever driven over in a car . Sjællands Bridge , which is the main motorway if you're heading to Sweden from Denmark . Needless to say there is a wide cycle track over the bridge . There are fewer commuters on this route during the week , compared to parallel cycle tracks along other motorways leading into the city but the weather was nice 35 degrees and there

Especially now that I have a new red Bullitt I couldn't resist this shot the other day . I rode past a Ferrari and thought I'd take a photo of the 21st Century version . Urban Manpower for Liveable Cities vs Horsepower for the sake of Horsepower . I love Larry vs Harry's new foldable racing seat on which the kids sit , and the new custom side . panels I sold my white Bullitt to Mads , who runs Ekeko.dk a sustainable development company that imports clothes from Bolivia .

The Mother of My Children had all the gear in her two-wheeler Christiania Bike and I had the kids on the . Bullitt It was a long , lovely day and both of the kids faded quickly once onto the bike , lulled to sleep by the gorgeous movements of the bicycle . Usually Felix stays awake and can hold Lulu up with his arm around her , but this time he snoozed . Lulu ended up in a rather funny and uncomfortable position . We stopped and I rearranged them . I used the inflatable kickboard as a pillow and Lulu was happy to lean up against it . Felix could then use a pile of towels as a . pillow Lulu couldn't get back to sleep good thing , otherwise

He was waiting at this busy intersection with his pins in the afternoon rush hour . Hundreds and hundreds of cyclists were on their way past , but he didn't bother with . them Every time the light turned red he walked out into the zebra crossing and started juggling for the motorists waiting at the light . He probably figured it was rather boring to be sitting in a car so a little entertainment and a few coins earned was a nice idea . He didn't make a lot of effort to earn money he was incredibly relaxed about it . Just content to . juggle He didn't perform for the cyclists and all the two-wheeled Copenhageners were rather unimpressed with his

It reads , quite simply and to the point , Walk your bicycle on the platform They could have added a please' or a would you mind terribly . but the graphic design helps soften the tone .

It's actually called The King's Lyngby Kongens Lyngby but this ain't no history blog , now is it . The main street through the town centre is a lively , people-friendly stretch with loads of small shops . The city has laid out rough cobblestones on the street as a kind of traffic calming measure , mixed with old school . aesthetics The cycle track is also unique in it's design , small paving stones to create a smoother surface . At this intersection , the stop line for cars is a good stretch back whilst cyclists can continue up to the pedestrian crossing , from where I took this . photo We're seeing a marked increase of stop lines for cars

I ride past this cyclist railing footrest almost every day and there is always a Copenhagener or two holding onto the railing or resting with their foot on the footrest . Riding around on bicycle tours of the city , this is stop on the route where I also talk about the intersection and infrastructural improvements for cyclists .

More often than not with bags in the two baskets . She walks slowly and steadily . along I've never seen her ride it she just might but I thought that she was perhaps like many proud elderly people in Copenhagen . When their agility fades they walk their bicycles on their daily rounds , using it as support . A kind of crutch or two-wheeled . walker Nothing wrong with walkers , of course .
