Just after 1400 hours all the cyclists lined up on the Norrbro bridge. The police were at hand, and they had had a conversation with the volunteers, (the people in the green, yellow and orange vests), about the rules of the bike train. Some of the streets closed for traffic as we rode through the central parts of Stockholm with the help of those volunteers. It was great fun. Even the bus drivers and taxi drivers gave us the thumbs up. I did in my own unique way. Biking in the train. Then stopping, jumping off the bike for a few photos. Then back in the train. I did that five or six times. Fun note, I posted a link to my flickr album at the official Facebook group, and one guy who responded told me that I managed to take four photos of him during the bike train! To have a look at all my 116 photos from the Bike Carnival press here.

Very nice although it seems to me very difficult to get on, dismount and stop for the tall bike cyclist in front.
That's a lot of cyclists.
That is so good to see.
I prefer the little white and red cars.
Such an energetic city! Love the bike pyramid there :)
What a fabulous event!!! I have an ebike. Not as cool as some of these, but it helps me to get around now that I am in my mid-70s.
