I know it's the "before" when cycling infrastructure wasn't good, but this photo could be one in a series attached to an article entitled "Why Morrissey says he can't watch movies made after 1970."
Or it could be the visual proof that Denmark is the Italy of Scandinavia, as you've suggested before.

Thanks! Italy is everything when it comes to bikes, I believe. Only the pedals, tires and bar tape on this machine aren't Italian. It's not really that old a ride, though: the frame and components are from about fifteen years ago. I think I've worked out the formula that aesthetics plays in my enjoyment of the ride. It's right around 50%.
I like looking at it. I like getting on it. And I'm not above admitting that I like the compliments I get from other cyclists in the know. Though even the uninitiated understand that the colour is unique.
