Copenhagen Cycle Chic loves you back :)

Trio1024x768mic Copenhagen Cycle Chic loves you back :)

Aici se află un link foarte important pentru noi. Doar dacă n-aţi înţeles deja până acum de ce, citiţi în continuare. Altfel e destul de redundant :)Deci:

  • Copenhagen Cycle Chic este in topul 100 bloguri worldwide, potrivit The Times
  • Copenhagen Cycle Chic a determinat, în 2008, lansarea a zeci de site-uri care îi copiază formatul şi îl aplică în alte ţări sau oraşe
  • Copenhagen Cycle Chic a fost lansat în 2007 de Mikael Colville-Andersen, jurnalist, fotograf şi regizor, acelaşi care lansase şi Copenhaganize cu un an înainte.
  • Dar, în esenţă, Copenhagen Cycle Chic rămâne blogul cu cei mai draguţi, naturali şi frumoşi biciclişti din lume.

Şi cred că textul de mai jos descrie Copenhagen Cycle Chic mai bine decât o mie de statistici:

The bicycle has served to liberate the working classes and, in particular, women back in the tail-end of the 19th century. In the post-war years, the bicycle was relegated to being merely a toy or piece of sports equipment. Copenhagen Cycle Chic aims to take back the bike culture by showing how the bicycle once again can be an integral, respectable and feasible transport form, free of sports clothes and gear, and how it can play a vital role in increasing the life quality in cities.

Amen

And pay attention to this. This is particulary good thinking:

The Copenhagen Cycle Chic Manifesto.

- I choose to cycle chic and, at every opportunity, I will choose Style over Speed.

- I embrace my responsibility to contribute visually to a more aesthetically pleasing urban landscape.

- I am aware that my mere prescence in said urban landscape will inspire others without me being labelled as a ‘bicycle activist’.

- I will ride with grace, elegance and dignity.

- I will choose a bicycle that reflects my personality and style.

- I will, however, regard my bicycle as transport and as a mere supplement to my own personal style. Allowing my bike to upstage me is unacceptable.

- I will endeavour to ensure that the total value of my clothes always exceeds that of my bicycle.

- I will accessorize in accordance with the standards of a bicycle culture and acquire, where possible, a chain guard, kickstand, skirt guard, fenders, bell and basket.

- I will respect the traffic laws.

- I will refrain from wearing and owning any form of ‘cycle wear’. The only exception being a bicycle helmet – if I choose to exercise my freedom of personal choice and wear one.

    i totally agree, except with that: I choose to cycle chic and, at every opportunity, I will choose Style over Speed.

    uneori chiar am nevoie sa simt ca ma pot baza pe lilla sa ma duca repede si sigur unde am nevoie si ca nu asteapta sa o imping eu pe ea:)))

    anyway, portocala mecanica este cea mai dulce acrisoara si perfecta :)
