I just found out that in Melbourne they call bike lanes Copenhagen Lanes and if you ever have been in Copenhagen you’ll know why. We do looove our bikes! And at Bymuseet (The Museum of Copenhagen) you can see a special exhibition on the bicycle culture of Copenhagen. It presents the history of bicycle tradition as well as our local favorites like the Long John and Christiania bikes. It explores the biking habits of Copenhageners and focuses on bicycles in literature, art and music. I mean – almost every Dane know the children song “Jeg er så glad for min cykel” (I’m so fond of my bike).
And I must admit I haven’t seen the exhibition myself yet – but it is on my December to-do list – and I will bring my kids. Because you can also see an exhibition made by the super talented Shane Bronx who can make wonderful things from – well, junk. He’s doing a show for children on tv, has written books and has taught loads of Danish kids that junk can be turned into treasures just by using your imagination – and a glue gun!
So come to the museum for a look into the lives of Danish people. Big and small.
To get a view of the way we ride our bikes in fair Copenhagen go to the very cool site Copenhagen cycle chic.
