Copenhagenize is pleased to announce the launch of Copenhagen Cycle Tracks guide book to Copenhagen. Four Copenhageners, including Mikael Colville-Andersen, have written an insiders guide to the city. Everything the smiley people at the Tourist Information Office don’t tell you. Although they do now, since the guide is on sale at the Tourist Information Office.

The book is published by Baisikeli and Cycle Chic / Copenhagenize. It’s not a bike guide to Copenhagen, as such, since the bicycle is already the preferred transport form in the city. It reveals hidden gems in the city. Places that tourists don’t usually get to.

It’s available for purchase at Baisikeli Bike Rental, the Tourist Information Office and various hotels and youth hostels around the city. It costs 35 kroner – cheaper than a pint of beer.

Mikael Colville-Andersen has been invited to speak at the State of Design festival in Melbourne.

He’ll be giving his Four Goals to Promote Urban Cycling presentation as well as discussing online communities and branding through social media.

State of Design runs from July 14-25, 2010

Mikael Colville-Andersen has been invited to speak at the Velo-City 2010 Global bicycle conference as a plenary speaker.

He’ll be talking about the Social Aspect of Bicycle Culture. What bicycle culture gives to the social fabric of a city and how encouraging citizens to choose the bicycle is beneficial for society.

Copenhagenize will be St. Petersburg on May 21-23, 2010 to speak at the opening of the Dreams on Wheels exhibition and to go for a bike ride organised by the Royal Danish Consulate.

Copenhagenize was invited to speak at the 3rd Bicycle Congress in the Catalonian city of Lleida in April 2010. The subject was Bicycle Superhighways in Copenhagen and Aarhus.

It was brilliant to meet so many passionate bicycle advocates from Spain, France and Portugal.

Copenhagenize Consulting is heading to the Czech Republic on two occasions in April.

The first is a seminar in Brno on April 7th, 2010.

“The Seminar should support the cycling and walking transportation as an equal and integrated part of the transportation system and as a suitable way of transport to work. Top experts will introduce examples of good architectonical and transportation solutions of cycling transportation in Denmark, and compare the development in the Czech Republic.”
Lars Gemzøe from Gehl Architects will be speaking there, too, which is brilliant.

Later in the month, on 21 April, 2010, there will be a Czech national cycling conference in Prague – Cyklokonference – and we’ll be showing up like a stray cat there, too.

Looking forward to meeting some policymakers.

Copenhagenize produced this short film/advert for the Danish bike brand Biomega.

We wished to showcase the company’s gorgeous bicycles – there are two different bicycles in the film; the Amsterdam and the Puma Pico.

The beauty of the product – like all bicycles – is that it is a human-powered machine. We wanted to take the design of the bicycles to another level and chose to use that century-old cultural icon The Cycling Girl in order to do so.

Biomega bicycles, iconic Cycling Girls and the city that Biomega calls home: Copenhagen. Work with this holy urban trinity and your work is half-done before you start.

We’re selling bicycles, of course, but we’re also selling urban cycling as lifestyle, as practical transport and as a social tool for city life.

Cycling has been effortless and gorgeous for over 120 years and will be for centuries to come.
