Rephotography is the act of taking a photo of a place that has already been photographed some time ago. While being a challenge for the photographers to recreate all the angles as close as possible to the original, these images also speak wonders about the passage of time.
When a bicycle culture is mainstream, strong and thriving the bicycle is part of every stage of life. Cycling whilst pregant is recommended - just short of prescribed - by doctors in Denmark and I've heard a number of stories about women cycling to the hospital with contractions. Here's a previous post about cycling whilst pregant and you can also check out the Bicycles and Pregnancy tag. This post is about how to transport the little ones around once they're out. Again, the bicycle is key in Copenhagen, as is the classic cargo bike. If you have kids in Copenhagen you either own a cargo bike or have considered buying one. In fact, 25% of all families with two or more kids own one. Either as primary transport in a car-free family or as a second car. The child in the top photo has just mastered the art of sitting up it would seem. But they aren't born sitting up, now are they? You still have to go about your daily business. Like my friend Søren, above, who used his cargo bike while on paternity leave. Yes, men in Denmark get a generous paternity leave. The cargo bike provides comfortable, pratical transport for getting around town with a baby. Søren uses a classic Copenhagen solution. He takes the top half off of the baby's pram and merely sticks it in the cargo bay. Easy. Here's another version of the same concept. Many parents also just use a car seat in the cargo bay. This gentleman - also on paternity leave - had a clever combi-idea. He built a custom box for his Bullitt cargo bike and, on top, he placed the same click-system that is on the bottom half of the pram. So he just clicks the top half off the pram and clicks into onto the bicycle to transport his four-month old baby around by bicycle. Maintaining that all-important eye-contact if the youngster is awake. This is a variation on the theme. A kids bike seat propped into the cargo bay. Add an adult friend and you're off around the city. Or bring grandma along for the ride. Nobody is saying you need a cargo bike. This gentleman was enjoying a casual Sunday bike ride in Mexico City with his sleepy kid on his back. And this chap in Amsterdam has his infant on his front. This is a similar solution using a classic Danish short john delivery bike, with the baby on the front rack.
How many Copenhageners can you squeeze onto a cargo bike? There must be a record here, but just looking around four or five is certainly doable. With a little imagination you can enjoy being very close to your friends on the ride. This special model is even made to be a nifty five seater. Only having one driver also gives room for the passengers to have a little "something" en route! Happy Cycling!
21-year-old Campbell Jones and his girlfriend were out for a bike ride in Rottnest, Australia, when they came across what is possibly the friendliest quokka on Earth. As I walked back to my bike, the quokka chased after me, Jones told the West Australian. I put down the GoPro and it jumped at me as if to say, 'Come back.'

You'll need to know how long you plan to ride before choosing an e-bike. Will you be biking a short commute, or do you often like to bike miles upon miles of trails? Knowing what range you need will help you select the right battery. You'll also know what to expect so you can plan your bike trips accordingly. In this chapter, we'll cover everything you need to know about e-bike batteries so you can hit the road worry-free and well prepared for the ultimate ride. Electric Bike Battery Types The battery is an important part of what makes an e-bike so enjoyable. With a fully charged battery, you can cruise with the wind care-free. When the battery loses its charge, you can still pedal, but you'll miss out on the e-bike fun. Here are the different types of e-bike batteries: Lead-acid batteries: Lead-acid batteries are low-cost and easy to recycle, but are heavy and do not last very long. They are similar to the batteries used in cars. Nickel-cadmium batteries: Nickel-cadmium batteries last longer than lead-acid batteries but are difficult to recycle. Nickel-metal hydride batteries: Nickel-metal hydride batteries last longer than nickel-cadmium batteries and are easier to recycle, but generally offer the same performance. Lithium-ion batteries: Lithium-ion batteries last longer than the other batteries and generate more power. These types of batteries use the same technology as cell phone batteries. Which Battery Is Best for an Electric Bike? In general, the best type of battery is a form of a lithium-ion battery. They are smaller and last longer than lead-acid batteries. When considering batteries as you shop for an e-bike, consider watt-hours (Wh) which measure battery output and life. The higher Wh, the bigger the range. Aim to choose a bike that offers a range long enough to suit the length of your ride with the power level you need. Lastly, consider how long it takes to recharge the battery and how that fits into your e-bike goals. How Long Does the Battery Charge Last? How long a battery lasts depends on several different factors, including the battery power and the level of assist you use. Any pedaling decreases battery use and extends your range. Generally speaking, you can expect anywhere from a 25- to 70-mile ride on a single charge. For example, through our range test, we found that using throttle only and not pedaling gave us a range of 47 miles going at a speed of 10 mph with the standard 52V battery. Conversely, with level 3 pedal assist, the range increased to 77 miles at 10 mph. The overall life span of a battery depends on the type of battery. Lead-acid batteries typically last 200 to 300 charge cycles, while lithium batteries last from 500 to 1,000 charge cycles. How Much Does an Electric Bike Battery Weigh? Battery weight depends on the size of the battery. For example, a 52V standard battery with 52 cells weighs a little over 7 pounds, while a 52V 70-cell battery weighs 10.6 pounds. How Many Miles Can You Get on an Electric Bike? As mentioned above, the amount of miles you can get from a single charge depends on various factors. You can extend the range by reducing the assist setting, riding slower, keeping an eye on your tire pressure and taking good care of your battery. What Is the Longest Range Electric Bike? The longest range e-bikes we offer at Juiced Bikes are bikes with a 52V and 19.2 amp-hours (Ah) battery, including the HyperScrambler 2, CrossCurrent X, RipCurrent S and the HyperScorpion, which all provide 998 Wh, 67 miles at medium speed and 33 miles at high speed.
