Copenhagenize &bull Jul 22, 2010
Yes, yes, yes. We all know I like my cargo bike. And that I'm happy to blog about it. Especially now that I have a new red Bullitt. I couldn't resist this shot the other day. I rode past a Ferrari and thought I'd take a photo of the 21st Century version. Urban Manpower… Full Story »

North Korean Anti-Bicycle Campaign
Copenhagenize &bull Jul 15, 2010
Copenhagenize has recieved a leaked public service film from behind the fortified borders of North Korea that provides insight into the classic manipulative nature of a well-oiled propaganda machine. Above is a classic Communist propaganda film from North Korea showing the typical use of children in emotional propaganda praising the State and The Great Leader, yada yada.
