About Copenhagen Cycle Chic- 關於哥本哈根女性單車

info~




Copenhagen Cycle Chic began its bloglife back in June 2007 when jouranlist, film director and photographer Mikael Colville-Andersen decided to put a growing number of photos about Copenhagen's bicycle culture into one place on the internet.
A series of social documentary photos about Copenhagen started to include a number of shots of life in the World's Cycling Capital, including fashionable Copenhageners on their bicycles. The feedback about these photos was positive and there was clearly a growing interest abroad in seeing how the bicycle was an integral part of life in the Danish capital. Specifically about how Copenhageners have demystified the bicycle and use it without any form of bicycle 'gear'. Just as the bicycle was meant to be ridden when invented.
The blog took on a streetstyle form as it grew in popularity and the readership includes people interested in fashion as well as bicycles and bicycle culture.
Colville-Andersen has teamed up with various co-bloggers to bring different angles and perspectives to the blog and he welcomes the inclusion of guest photos sent in from around the world.
Since starting the blog and, not least, coining the phrase "Cycle Chic" the number of blogs and websites inspired by CCC has grown explosively throughout 2008.
The bicycle has served to liberate the working classes and, in particular, women back in the tail-end of the 19th century. In the post-war years, the bicycle was relegated to being merely a toy or piece of sports equipment. Copenhagen Cycle Chic aims to take back the bike culture by showing how the bicycle once again can be an integral, respectable and feasible transport form, free of sports clothes and gear, and how it can play a vital role in increasing the life quality in cities.


哥本哈根女性單車在2007年6月創立,當作家、導演兼攝影師Mikael Colville-Andersen決定將哥本哈根單車文化的照片放在網路的某一處時，開始了他的部落格生活。
記載一系列關於哥本哈根的社會紀錄的照片裡開始涵蓋許多世界單車之都的生活照包括哥本哈根當地時尚人士騎單車的照片。這些照片受到許多熱烈的回響，很明顯的有越來越多人對於丹麥首都如何將單車置入生活感到相當有興趣。特別是哥本哈根人如何解開單車神秘之處，並在單速的狀態下行駛。就像當初發明單車，它原本的樣貌。

此部落格在受到大眾矚目，讀者包含對時尚、單車以及單車文化感興趣的族群之下以街頭形態自居。


Colville-Andersen與許多部落客合作，帶給部落格更多元的角度以及觀點，並歡迎來自世界各地的訪客提供照片。

在開始部落格後，有越來越多的網站受到哥本哈根女性單車的影響。

單車使得中產階級以及十九世紀末期的女性得以解放。在戰後，單車僅是大眾眼裡的玩具又或運動器材。哥本哈根女性單車致力於將單車文化再度重現回到原本缺一不可，可敬和可行的形式，不用穿上運動衣以及配備便可乘騎，以及單車在城市中扮演重要的角色。

ps:希望台灣的女性也可以藉由單車，解放自我的壓力紓解之餘結合時尚，讓生活也越來越豐

富。

希望各位姊妹們都幸福快樂！！
