The Instinct returns, with 140mm of travel and a familiar looking frame.
A collection of photos from the 1940s that belie the famous old saying that there's no such thing as a useless bicycle. Four-man bicycle is powered by five chains and has brakes on both its wheels. The bike was built by Art Rothschild (top position) who broke three ribs while learning how to ride it. Only springs connect rear of Maurice Steinlauf's bike with roving front wheel. Uno-Wheel, if braked suddenly, has been known to spin its rider round and round inside the big main wheel. Square-wheeled bike held by Bernard Steinlauf was built by son Dave after seeing a bicycle wreck. Gangbusters Bike mounts 13 shotguns, two revolvers, six bayonets, flare gun.

Anime Neon Genesis Evangelion has spawned more than figures, posters, and booze. It's also produced race cars, hybrid cars, and really fast motorbikes. Would you like to buy an Eva bike?

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.
The traditional Long John bicycle has a long history of heavy use in Denmark and Copenhagen. The original Long John bicycle was a Danish invention by Morten Rasmussen Mortensen in 1929. Nowadays a modern fleet of offsprings has taken to the streets. Including the already iconic Bullitt, from Larry vs Harry. The beauty of the Long John is the ability to carry large, heavy loads and still be highly manoeuvrable. Longs Johns became very popular in Denmark with many makers churning out Long Johns for transport and delivery. Today the main cargo seems to be children! Happy Cycling!
