Copenhagen Fashionista on Wheels

These are normal? Look great sure, but for cycling hardly practical.

Thousands of Copenhagen women can't possibly be wrong.

Copenhagen Fashionista on Wheels by [Zakkalicious / Mikael].

Just an average Copenhagener on her bike. Like 55% of the population of Copenhagen - the world's cycling capital - every day.

This shot sums up everything that is casual and chic and effortless about Copenhagen bike culture. Style over speed. Elegance over exertion.
Ride, ride, ride. A to B and back again.
In your normal clothes. Like normal people. On a normal bike.

How do they usually turn left? Pedestrian style -- cross straight and cross again?

[Zakkalicious / Mikael] says:

Thanks all!
@richard... most cyclists think that they have to cross the street and wait for the light before continuing to the left. But they are allowed the same freedom to turn left as cars. For some reason it is one law that cyclists aren't aware of.

@Aaron&Zakka Yes, I like this one! This is what I would call DRESS TO IMPRESS

Levelly the contrast between rusty mechanics and ultra-shiny shoes, it make a sense considering she is wearing tights which are faking a pair of musketeers boots, which are perfect for a long ride across Frederikberg.

I think to know this crossroad, just behind the photographer shoulders may still be a 7/11 shop.

I adore this shot ... even if laws are being broken (there. I said it. I've probably disqualified myself forever from Danish citizenship).

[Zakkalicious / Mikael] says:

Au contraire, gee hue... Breaking cycle laws is not THAT unheard of... as you can read here

Sean Hogan - 何祥  says:

I love the way she is cornering, or wait a minute is she trying to track stand in those heels?
Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )

[Zakkalicious / Mikael] says:

thanks, everyone.

she's cornering slowly, waiting for the light to change so she can turn left.
but she could probably trackstand for days... she's a copenhagener... :-)
