in tel aviv i used my bike a lot. when i got here 6 years ago biking wasn't so common. but i'm from denmark so obviously i had to have a bike. today bikes are getting popular as i think is the case in many other places, but it's still nothing like in denmark where biking is simply a way or life: taking the kids to kindergarten, going to work, doing grocery shopping, meeting friends at cafes and restaurants, going to the beach in the summer, visiting friends in the winter - a natural part of living.
after we moved to the countryside we use the bike to take the kids to kindergarten and for trips around the neighborhood. like yesterday, where i took all three boys out for a ride, hoping to see the storks again. and yes, they are still around. and you still have to click for a bigger version of the photo if you want to be able to see them :))
when i miss the whole biking scene of copenhagen i visit copenhagen cycle chic with cool pictures of cool people driving their bikes. i love that!
OOhhwwwyess!! I had one of those things in NL as well, the blue plastic body with an yellow plastic cover including a window for the kids to look through. Can't remember the name. Loved it big time!!! Went to visit this Copenhagen Cycle Chic...it could have been somewhere in the NLs, so funny to see. I also had fun snooping around here, and I'll be back ;-), thx!
ReplyDeleteI couldn´t live without my bike either...being Dutch and well... because of the little fact that I don´t have a drivers licence.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun ride you had. Somehow the neighborhood looks European.
i wish our town was more bike friendly. people are so crazy with their cars, it can be pretty dangerous to ride with little ones (but we still do it when we can!).
ReplyDeleteIt must be really fun to have a bike ride with children, especially in the country!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your bike!! It's classic! America is ever so slowly catching on to the whole bike where ever you go thing. I wish it were more like Denmark. Love, love, love that link... some fantastic bikes on there!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you!

Thanks for the link. I love it. I also couldn´t live without my bike- I´ve even named her...Sabrina...
ReplyDeletesabrina is a good name! i call mine danish dynamite (the colors), not so personal as yours :)
ReplyDeleteI love biking and wish our climate was conducive to that mode of transport year round. North America is so behind in the biking scene though, they love big SUV's and such... argh!
