The Beauty of Bicycles in Aarhus

written by Brenna Holeman July 23, 2015

Bicycles in Denmark 9

Yeah, I’m going to get straight to the point here – this post is purely to showcase these photos of bicycles in Aarhus, Denmark. I visited Aarhus at the end of June and I absolutely loved it; not only is it a beautiful city, it’s full of warm people and fun things to do. It’s also full of bicycles, and I do love a good photo of a bicycle.

Much like Copenhagen, which I wrote a huge post about last week, Aarhus is totally bike-friendly. While I didn’t get a chance to ride a bike this time around, I have fond memories of cycling round Denmark from my last visit. What I did get a chance to do, however, was linger in cute little streets (if I put “cute” in that sentence, does “linger” get any less creepy of a word? I’m not sure) and take lots of photos of bicycles against pretty backdrops. Obviously that should be on every “must-do” list regarding Denmark. I’m not joking. It really should. The bicycles and the colourful houses and the cobblestones… oh, I melt.

Many thanks to VisitDenmark for hosting me.

Do you often ride bikes when you travel? Do you own one and/or cycle in your hometown?

Me too! I have far too many of them from around the world…

I love these photos! I also tend to take photos of bicycles and doorways while I travel because they are so simple and beautiful 🙂 Biking in Toronto can be a bit of an adventure, but in the summer it’s perfect!

Brenna Holeman July 24, 2015 - 3:26 pm

Yes, I do love the simplicity of the photos! I don’t think I’ve ever biked in Toronto, actually, but I imagine riding down some of those leafy green streets is lovely.

I loved wandering Denmark when I was there, especially in Aarhus. You capture it’s streets so well, I think I need to make a trip back one of these days…

Aw, thank you Jesse! I hope you get back soon.

These are all such lovely pictures! Not only do I love the bicycles but all of the cute little houses 🙂

Thank you Zalie! Yes, you know I love a good brightly-painted house. 🙂

About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Brenna

My name is Brenna Holeman and I drink a lot of whisky. No, wait. That’s not how I want to start. After travelling to more than 100 countries over the past 15 years, many of them solo, I tend to write about travel a lot, but I write about other things, too: getting dumped, buying way too much jewellery, and yeah, OK, whisky (none of those things are related, I swear). You’ll find a mix of advice, opinion pieces, and stories on this blog, but either way, I hope to make you want to read more. And up next? I'm about to become a single mom to a beautiful baby boy, the biggest solo adventure I've ever been on. For more about me and what you'll find on This Battered Suitcase, click here .

INSPIRATION

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life." - Jack Kerouac

About Brenna

This Battered Suitcase is not only about the where and the how of travel, it's about the who and the why.

Originally from Canada, all I've ever wanted to do is travel. After eleven years of solo travel and over 90 countries, I'm currently living in London and fulfilling my other dream of becoming a writer. If I'm not travelling, I'm writing about it, either for my blog, my job, or my book. I firmly believe there is adventure everywhere, so long as you keep your eyes (and your mind, and your heart) open. Join me as I continue to look for these adventures. Hopefully you'll find your own, too.
