ABC Wednesday - C is for Cycling in Copenhagen


These are just a few of the cyclists we encountered when visiting Copenhagen in 2006.


Cycling is so popular in Copenhagen that there is a blog Copenhagen Chic specifically devoted to the activity.

  7. Copenhagen is awesome! For all of you interested in cycling you must check out this blog: http://www.copenhagencyclechic.com/

    It is great blog about cycling in Copenhagen - one of my favourites.

    @ Christine H: I would recommend a place called 'Kaffeplantagen' on Skt. Hans Torv for a coffe. That is my personal favourite coffee shop in the city.

  8. Excellent choice!

    If the roads were cleaner and less busy, I might cycle here, but it's too dangerous, and I get choked by fumes.

  10. The first photo could also be "C" for cell phone. The lady in the foreground has verified that there is no age limit to cycling. I like your informal photograph photos!

  11. More so even than in Amsterdam? I've always been amazed at the number of cyclists in The Netherlands but I've never been to Copenhagen.

  12. Cycling there seems saner there than here! Cleaner, too.

  13. Nice shots, of course in the NL we have many people who go by bicycle. I think it is because the land is flat. I also like how you captured the walking and talking lady.
