Inspiring weekend in Malmö & Copenhagen
We headed south this weekend to Malmö and Copenhagen, to hang out with old friends and enjoy the first signs of summer. First out are these photos taken in Hanna and Oskar’s apartment in Malmö. Hanna is a creative little chick and an old friend of mine, Oskar is a city planner with a passion for bicycles.

Open Streets Stockholm
I’m so excited about some recent news that I don’t know where to start, but if there was a like button saying “Per Ankersjö” I would press it. Hard. The reason?
This politician is taking to action what many researchers have known for years: When you take away cars, the space can be taken back by the ones it was made for: People.
He suggests that Kungsgatan turns into...

Haven’t you always wondered? How do you make a relationship healthy and vital? Here is all you will ever need to know…
#1: Communicate!
Oh we all know this. This is the ALL time favorite tip from councilors all over the world. For a reason. And, clearest of all ways of communication is… BODY LANGUAGE.
Hence, use your arms as indicators. Because no one can expect anyone to be a mind...

Graphics: Anna-Lena Lindqvist (it doesn’t make sense this small does it? it’s about Stockholm’s bike share system, and some ‘cycle friendly spots’)
Good afternoon kids! I’m excited to announce that once again DN publish a positive article about cycling in Stockholm. This time I’m discussing some trends and give my analysis to the cycle boom. Also, the...

Say Hello To Bikertize
Fancy promoting something you like and get paid for it?
Yup, now it’s possible, at least in my hoods. A brand new little company called Bikertize in Uppsala are offering cyclists to ride with ads (that you chose yourself among the companies) With no hassle at all: they mount it for you. I chose to support my dear box where I workout:
(Getting a little crazy doing a one handed bike...
Infographics are brilliant. Here are some facts and stats about US, Europe, and Portland.
The only thing that is sad is to know how strong the car industry still is in many countries. it’s insane. But just remain calm and keep pedaling, inspire to more bums on bikes - and more decision makers will discover those stats of benefits. Break free from the queues. In the end it’s all...
Steel Horses at Rest in Vancouver

Vancouver West End
These photos were taken in the neighbourhood we stayed in. We had just a few hours to spend before our flight to Trail so we lent bicycles from our hotel and headed off across the Burrard bridge to the snowboard shops on West 4th Ave… (I was in great need of snowboard pants)
The Burrard Hotel
In Vancouver we stayed at this really cool hotel… The fun thing was that we booked it through a site where you don’t know what hotel you’re booking (that’s how they can give extra good deals) - and it turned out to fit us so perfectly.
It was called “The Burrard”. This was the sign to our floor.
In this really neat retro room there, postcards were lying on...
Vancouver!
I’m in Canada! Stayed one night in Vancouver. Pretty jetlagged, I took these photos early in the morning when we were out hunting for breakfast.
Did you celebrate Valentine's day yesterday?
Well one dude called Payam in San Fransisco surely did..!:
Using his smartphone, a GPS app, his bicycle and a heart as big as… well as big as San Francisco, Payam took this ride for his partner, Clare. She’s in Toronto so they won’t be able to spend the holiday together but he wanted to create his valentine in a unique way.
“I recently moved to San Francisco from Toronto...

horsey!
I have a friend who loves horses. She is also looking for a bicycle. So, she was very excited when she found this and sent it to me.
So what IS this???
These attachable ornaments are called “Horsey”, and is made by Eungi Kim from Korea (South Korea i assume) and took part in the Seoul cycle design competition 2010.
“I wanted to give a special look to bicycles so...

A year ago my man and I was roadtrippin in New Zealand.
This was the first sign that showed up when we drove into Gisbourne.
And this was the second:

“This is how Malmö council treat their city cyclists. The hard working commuters, who take the train from here, don’t have room to put there bicycle in a stand. So they place it next to it, hoping it won’t be in anyones way. Then these people come and steal them.”
Well this is very sad and stupid. It’s kind of obvious that the supply and demand is unbalanced...
Today when I was riding my bike home I saw a lady cycling with ski goggles on.
Happy DOG!
I’ve been horse riding today with my friend Ellie. This is Ines, she showed us the way through the woods.
Off topic? Perhaps but I do think a post about horse riding works well under this blog’s name…

PARTY CYCLING
This past saturday I ended up at a house dinner with very-long-time-no-see friends, and it turned into a little party. It was so nice. I realized I’ve forgotten some important details in my life, like that time I had a mixed tape-exchange-party at my parents house (oh I remember the party but not the tape bit). So we dug out some old mix tapes from forgotten times and admired the cover...

This is Henrik, I met him through the wonders of Facebook acquaintances. His family run the old bicycle shop in Gamla Stan in the heart of Stockholm. Henrik and his brother grew up among veteran cars and bicycles, and I went to speak to them in the shop. If you’re wondering if there were things to take photos of the answer is OH YES. It’s the kind of bike shops that’s...
