One of the goals of our trip was to see about getting a nice bike for Elizabeth. She had several requirements. A chain guard, basket, fenders, a skirt guard (not shown in this picture) an upright riding position, and the ability to freewheel (pedal backwards, not coaster brakes). Of course the Danes had such a bike, and here it is. She got a great deal on it, about $700, and we had it boxed up for the airplane ride home. It was only about $50 on IcelandAir for the bike to travel home with us.
Here's Elizabeth in the bike shop with her new bike. Lots of people in Boston stop her and ask her where she got it. She smiles and says, "Copenhagen." They are always bummed to hear that they aren't for sale in Boston. Maybe we should open an import/export shop.
