Biking challenge - count me in!

Today I joined the biking challenge at work. It is an intiative to get more people in the province of Scania to bike in order to be healthier and to have less polution in the air. It is a team competition and so far we have 7 people on our team. The challenge goes from today, April 26, to June 6th. I biked to the local commuter bus station today, 2 x 7,5K. I am happy with that start!
The initiative is called Skånetrampar (website only in Swedish). Keep watching this space for more bike updates :-)

The little Mermaid is on vacation

The statue of the little Mermaid, a popular tourist attraction in Copenhagen, has taken an extended leave and is on a six-month vacation in Shanghai!
Check out the video from the Shanghai expo where she is making the Danish pavillion special. The Danes also have bikes to borrow to cycle around the pavillion (fun environmental idea).
