Bike Crutch

Crutch Bike
Ah, yes, how the bicycle eases our transportational needs, however odd they may be on occasion. This Copenhagener had issues with her foot. It's bandaged and wrapped in plastic.
Crutch Bike
Her companion walked alongside with crutches which were, I'm assuming, too cumbersome and slippery on the wintry sidewalks and crosswalks.

So... take a bike. Training wheels or not, it's still quicker and, most importantly, more comfortable. Viva la bicycle.

I like the training wheels--wonder if it's to help keep the cyclist on even keel while she rides with a cast or if she's got a cast because she needs training wheels?
Keep up the great work, I so enjoy it.
Cheers, Sweetman

hahaha, maybe her first effort without training wheels ended badly, hence the cast.

Light snow this morning here too. I've been noticing rubber tyres and few extra kilos of bike give you better traction than shoes. And, yes, it's faster.

My personal 4 rules for cycling in the snow:
1. Go slow.
2. Corner widely.
3. Hold tight to the umbrella.
4. Don't suppress the smile.

Low and step-through is good in that kind of situation. It looks more fun than a wheelchair, that's for sure!

if winter cycling was an Olympic sport, the danes would win. ( why isn't there a winter sport that involves two wheels?)
