Danish language and bicycling course [you start today]
Here's an interesting video about Danish bicycling. Though for some of you it might be like watching flying saucers for the first time. Especially those of you who are considering to get a Suzuki car in the US with free gasoline card!

(see original video here if it doesn't appear)

The video is from Andreas and tell me if you think it's true what an american once told me, that our Danish language "sound like throat cancer" ..?

For more info on the bicycle, see http://www.larryvsharry.com you can get a Clockwork model, a Bullit, a Bluebird '71 and three other fine models. Weight 20 kilos.

Every time I come here you make me miss Denmark! We were amazed how many bikes their are in Denmark. In England they would get stolen!

Oh and I'd love one of them bikes but I bet it feels strange having it at the front

@Mark: There's almost death sentence for drivers that hurt a cyclist. At least, I think there's very few excuses for not noticing bicycles, even if they drive crazy - you have to stay alert and respect them. Harassing them would be a very unwise thing to do.
There's roads through the major cities exclusive for cyclists as well as cycle paths along many roads, and often marked with light blue paint when crossing traffic roads.

Thanks for the link, Thorsten. I've published some pictures of the bike (and the man behind) here: http://www.23hq.com/andjohan/album/3092619

Check how much gear that guy can stuff onto his bike in the video. I'm (almost) sure there would be space for a Mark III with a 800mm potrait lens on such a bicycle.
Yours should be yellow, mate.

Yeah the video doesn't work for me either :(

Just added a direct link as an alternative.

Cool idea for transporting stuff around. It's a ashame I can't understand Danish!
How do motor vehicles treat cyclists on the roads? In London it's very dangerous, and most drivers try to push you in the gutter.
Cheers

Too bad I can’t see the video. But the design of the bike on the site sure looks intriguing!

Hopefully the uber team can fix it - works in the edit/preview but not on the site.

It has been, i confess, long overdue. But i have been procrastinating this simple task of leaving you a comment for weeks. I've been busy and only comment when commented.
I do admire your work and your blogs are quite the read.
congratulations on a wonderful page.

Hi Thorsten

I just wanted to say hello and compliment you on your gallery. You've got a really great selection of pictures here, I really like your natural style and your use of light.
Lots and lots of interesting stuff to read too!
I reckon I'm going to be a regular reader.
Take it slow...

Heeeeey... You're another one on here who I see has fanagled a way around (what I thought was the max) of 16 "Top Friends." How'd you manage that one, if you don't mind me asking? Whatever the case, very best of regards to you...CCx

Hello.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad to receive a comment from you.

Not all thinks the same, because I've received a lot of critics on flickr.

Regards, Ulissa.

Hi Thorsten,
Thanks for the great idea for a blog posting on how a designer comes to dress a star at the Oscars. I will have to write it! Continue to check my blog, I'm going to continue to add great stuff in the next few weeks.

Hi my friend !! The whole truth about the small rocket is on my blog ;)

I found it annoying, the D-Lux 3, that you can't get a good grip at it. That you use the screen as viewfinder is kind of OK. But the light from the screen, as well as the red AF light at night does not make it a stealth camera like a traditional quiet Leica M.
