Portugese Bicycle Culture
We're so pleased our friend Humberto in Lisbon sent us these two links to news pieces on Portugese bicycle culture. It's in Portugese, but the images are wonderful. Have a look.
In this first video we meet two men who still practice old professions in the Portugese capital. The first chap delivers bread on his old bicycle and the second chap sharpens knives for people using his bicycle. There's a guy in Copenhagen who does the latter - I've just never been able to get a photograph of him.

The second piece is about a Vintage Bicycle Meet. Splendid shots of cool old bikes and their owners.

Has you posted before, there is no such thing as a Dutch or Danish bike but European bike. We had good Portuguese bikes that were as good as the ones imported from England. Nowadays these bikes still exist but are stored in our grandparent’s houses and we are riding low quality mountain bikes… I hope this will change and we’ll be riding in style again!
