Amager Strand — Bikes on the Beach
Mar 29, 2009
After a healthy tax return a few weeks ago I decided to treat myself to a new bike. I've found myself increasingly interested in bicycle culture of late, so was able to reason that if I was to be a participant in it then I had better have the tools to do so. That — coupled with the fact that cycling is my main (only) form of transport here in Copenhagen — meant I was able to justify paying a little extra to get something a bit special that I am able to enjoy riding, despite the niggling of my economically conservative conscience.
After testing it out for a week or two, yesterday afforded the perfect opportunity for a nice long ride down to the beach and back, with a quick sandwich break in between. I managed to clock up around 35 kilometres on the trip, so by the end my knees and back-side were beginning to complain, but aside from that I found the experience extremely enjoyable. I'm already planning my next ride.
