Stylish Scandinavian bicycles Danes love their bikes, that’s a well-known fact. Everyone, from politicians to rock stars and members of the royal family, is seen pedalling around on bikes that reflect their different identities. Whether it is that of a chic mother taking her children to school, a hungover bohemian visiting the local sourdough bakery or a busy world leader racing through the streets – there is a bike for all styles. And it is not just the Danes, though they might be the greatest bicycle fantasts, their neighbouring Scandinavian countries are catching up, adding even more styles and rides to the selection. We present some of our favourites. By Signe Hansen

Centurion - Centurion Helium Forget about Lycra outfits and neon-coloured bikes. In cities like Copenhagen, you are more likely to see both bikes and bikers that match the timeless and minimalistic elegance that Scandinavian design is renowned for. One of the bicycles that well reflects the Copenhagen style is the Danish Centurion Helium, a bike that is described as “a classic steel bike with modern aluminium equipment that increases both functionality and design”. What we love is that despite its fairly modest price tag, the bike is filled with stylish details such as a retro saddle and beautifully crafted handles. www.centurion.dk From: 6,499 DKK
Pilen Cykel, Pilen Lyx If you’re dreaming of cruising leisurely through the landscape while exuding an air of laidback Scandinavian coolness, the Swedish Pilen Lyx is the bike for you. A classic steel bicycle with a distinctly Scandinavian design, Pilen Lyx has an upright, relaxed, and comfortable driving position, which allows you to wear what you like and enjoy the view as you ride along. The standard bike is stylish on its own but can be spruced up to further increase style and comfort with a Brooks genuine leather saddle with spring suspension. In short, this is the bike for you if you are not just thinking of your bike as a means to get somewhere, but want to enjoy the ride too. www.pilencykel.se From: 8,345 SEK 18
