Of course the flixbus from Copenhagen to Hamburg has a bike rack. 🫶🇩🇰🚲
All shopping malls should take inspiration from Copenhagen’s Fisketorvet: put people walking and cycling first. Easy, direct access and a spacious, secure, highly visible bike parking garage send a clear message: customers arriving on foot or by bike are valued, not treated as an afterthought.
Bornholm is a fantastic place to explore by bike. The island is crisscrossed by cycle paths, the terrain is mostly flat, and the scenery is stunning. We rode 70 km to one of its most beautiful beaches and back.
Die besten zimtschnecken sind leider ein wenig weit weg fürs Frühstück aber ich denke die haben auch gute Ware . Grillflöte😂🇩🇰🫶
I want buses in Austria to carry bikes. Like on Bornholm 🫶🇩🇰🚲It can’t be that difficult.
An endless line of cars queuing to board the ferry to Bornholm. Most carry just one or two people, yet every vehicle takes time to load. It’s a striking reminder of how inefficient our car-centric mobility system really is and how much space and time it wastes.
Great cities make you want to walk. They’re full of places to discover, hidden gems, and streets that invite exploration. They’re designed so walking is the most enjoyable way to get around. Copenhagen had us strolling for nearly 5 hours and 20 km in a single day, without counting our bike rides.
In Kopenhagen lernt man das als Fußgänger ruckizucki. Da geht’s auf den Radwegen so zu, dass es einem gar nicht einfällt da einfach reinzulaufen. Übrigens: 50% der Kollision zwischen Radfahrer und Fußgänger gehen von Fußgängern aus.
Riding the world famous Cykelslangen. I went up and down 2 times just because it so much fun 🤩🚲 Sorry for the blurry picture
What do the world’s most successful shopping streets have in common? They’re designed for people, not cars. It’s hard to enjoy strolling, browsing and city life when you’re surrounded by 2-ton metal boxes, traffic noise and toxic exhaust. Great retail starts with great public space.
“People with disabilities depend on cars!” No. They depend on accessibility, not cars. Maybe they can’t or don’t want to drive. They also deserve the freedom to move actively and independently. That’s what inclusive mobility means.
Spotted this one in Copenhagen. Puch : a bicycle manufacturer from Austria with long tradition
One thing I really love about Copenhagen is something I first noticed in Leiden, NL: tiny patches of wild nature taking root in every crack. Instead of treating them as weeds, people seem to appreciate them. Cities feel better when nature is welcome. ❤️🌻
This is how u separate cyclists from pedestrians and motorists. Everyone has their dedicated physically separated lane . Safe and easy to understand for everyone.
Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, the main Train station of the 3rd largest German speaking city. Not really representative for Hamburg 🤨
On my way to Copenhagen, the cycling mecca of the world. 🚲🇩🇰 Took the night train with one of the new mini cabins. Surprisingly comfy, quiet, and a great way to travel. If we want more climate-friendly mobility, this is exactly the kind of experience we should be making widely available.
Fresh decals for my bike helmet. Growing older doesn’t mean growing boring.🔥🚲
Changed my drivetrain from a Shimano 3×8 to a Microshift 1×10. The upgrade was surprisingly straightforward and made a huge difference. It’s much easier to adjust, and modern 1x drivetrains shift more smoothly and feel noticeably more refined on the road.
What I love most about riding a bike is how fully you experience the world around you. You hear the sounds, feel the air, notice the changing smells, and connect with every path and season. You’re not just passing through your environment, you become part of it. (Sound on)
Smart, flexible bike parking. In Vienna, you can rent these l bike parking containers from the city for events. A simple way to provide secure, convenient parking for guests arriving by bike and a clear signal that cycling is welcome. 🚲
This is how our pavements must look like. Tree canopies turn scorching sidewalks into comfortable walking spaces, cooling our cities naturally while making streets more inviting for everyone. More trees mean better cities.
Endless asphalt, hot as a grill. Acres of parking spaces. No trees, no shade. Yet this is still the default design of most supermarkets. Temperatures above 38 Celsius in Vienna expose how outdated this is, especially in cities, where many customers anyway arrive on foot or by bike.
Am I the only one who thinks aggressively honking is the driving equivalent of showing someone the middle finger and therefore deserves a response in kind?
When we stop seeing “cyclists” as a separate group and start seeing people on bicycles, everything changes. They come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and abilities – because cycling is for everyone.
