I live downtown Copenhagen, the film shows my everyday exactly as it is - day and night, summer and winter.

Some of the bike lanes are actually wider now 2 years later ;-)

 

Cykling creates healthy, happy people in a more sustainable and enjoyable city.

 

Come visit and I'll lend you my bike so you can try for yourself.

 

Alternatively, enjoy the new people friendly areas in down town New York.

I'll give you a surround experience you won't forget ;-)

And lend you a bike or set of roller-skates to get around town.

 

I was actually considering a trip to Boston and New York this summer.

Unfortunately I think my CO2 budget is low, as i road-tripped 6000 miles around and across the US from LA to Dallas in a Dodge Charger last year.

I suppose I'll stay home and cycle around Denmark, do a bit of yoga and such.

A couple of bikes would be nice and you can keep the roller blades as I would hate to injure any of your country men and women or even trees lol

I only have one bike to lend, but . . .

 

The city bike system offers locals as well as travellers easy access to a bike when ever you need one.

Electrically assisted, with build in tablet / GPS / map / tourist info / internet access, "Bycyklen" takes care of you.

I have a Cannondale that looks (and costs) nothing like that. Serves for getting me around local parks on rides w/ my wife and friends.

 

Edit: BTW, forgot to say - Beautiful bike.

Neither does mine:

ca. 2001 Crackandfail somethingorother. Derisively referred to as my "assistant professor bike". Probably something DigiPete might even approve of. Generator hub and lights. Aluminum. Hand made in US frame. Stiffer than a 3 day old corpse at the side of the bike trail. Commuted on it every day for about 7 years, until I broke down and got a mountain bike ...

Very nice bikes here!

 

I've been riding my Bertoni (Columbus Matrix Steel tubing) for about 28 years. It came with Shimano 105 group which has held up amazingly over the decades. Always a fun ride and has to be one of my most economical purchases -- of all time.

My last was a Chas Roberts White Spider. Made to measure frame and Bontrager forks, components from what I considered some of the best available at the time. (1990s).

Sadly sold now, health issues mean my cycling days are over.

25 years ago, bike companies made stuff to last a lifetime. My Dura Ace/LOOK pedals probably have 40,000 miles on them. Then they realized, hey this is a limited market, and if we keep this up, we'll run out of customers, because people won't ever need to replace anything. So, they started making parts out of plastic, and increased the price by a factor of ten. Did we really need 11 gears in the back, and electronic shifting?

Sure, bikes are lighter and stiffer, but they're like eggs--great until you drop them. My Litespeed titanium frame, on the other hand, got run over by a Chevy Suburban, and was unscathed. I rode 70 miles on it this morning. Now, it's time to listen to some music!

Here's mine, inherited from my great great great grandfather. I had to stop drinking to handle it. The hard part is getting on the seat (or use a cellular phone...). My great-grandfather on the picture ("Big Foot" Roch).

In keeping with ethos of this site, what do you think of this Moulton Double Pylon?

I really should read posts properly ... I read that as a Monty Python to start with! And looking at the picture nearly confirmed my first reading ... the Ministry of Silly Bikes perhaps!

...in my opinion / experience...

While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing.

And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism.

keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out.

Blasphemy! In the extreme. Looks aside, they are fantastic bikes to ride.

Superb. IMHO, the best film they made.
