Ice cold Minnesota Cycle Chic

Yes, I know it is finally warmer and it sorta feels like spring so we shouldn’t look at pictures of cold and snow anymore. We shouldn’t jinx it. I know!

But I only just discovered this amazing photograph by Jenn Ackerman. You can read a great feature on her beautiful project Frozen on Lens, the photography blog of the New York Times.

We cheated!

Me and my oldest son took the sled out to go to school instead of the bicycle, like we always do.

Good fun!!

Treated the sled like a bike though. After Nelson was dropped off at school, I had to get to the train station, where I locked the sled with my bicycle lock, next to the regular bikes.

White flowers

Flowers put a smile on your face. They make you feel good. They remind you of spring, even when the days are dark, short and very cold. Flowers, my dear friends, are a thing of beauty and therefore – to quote a certain Keats – a joy forever.

To decorate something as your bike with something as delicate as a white flower is a sign of sweet and tender sophistication – which is completely reflected in her style.

Like an ice age

That’s how it’s gonna feel this weekend. Thanks to the wind and the snow. But if you wrap yourself in good…

Or find good company to ride…

Then the cold won’t get you down.
