Bikes in Copenhagen

Mar 1, 2009

I've been here living in Copenhagen for over a year now, and by far my favourite activity is bike riding. Copenhagen isn't a huge city, and the general day to day places of interest are confined within a reasonably small area. Combine this with the general flatness of the city and a cultural acceptance and background behind the cyclists and you are left with an ideal biking environment.

I decided to create a small video to try to illustrate a typical day biking in Copenhagen. I rode to and from work one day with my camera in my hand, edited it all together and added a backing track (Talking Hotel Arbat Blues from Handsome Furs' new album Face Control). The result is a short insight into what it's like to get to ride around in Copenhagen both day and night.
