Bikes We Like: The Pedersen


Pedersen, originally uploaded by [Zakkaliciousness].

A beautiful Pedersen bike. This famous bike by Mikael Pedersen was designed in 1894 and, after decades of success, faded away until 1978 when the blueprints were used to build modern versions.

Wonderful to ride on, sitting high and proud on the strap. Perfect for city riding.

Anyone know where I could hire a Pedersen from for a weekend in September 2009? I will be coming to Copenhagen from the 4th to the 6th and would naturally like to explore the city on this Danish design classic. My frame size should be XL, I think.
