Bicycles in Sweden

Okay, so I think everyone is making fun of me for going ga ga over all the bicycles here in Sweden. I just love them. I will be snagging images of bikes and cycling here; I want to bring a Swedish Army bike home with me, but that's not going to happen. So I will bring home lots and lots of pictures. Here's an improved version of this post with a Picasa slideshow embedded. The folloing paragraph might read funny because the sentences were originally captions for individual photos. I will try to string them together now that I have embedded the slideshow, which is much better. I think I can add captions to the slideshow, which would be better still. I don't think the postman noticed me take his photo this morning; these cool utility bikes are all over Sweden. You can also see Viktor and Renee's bikes--their entire family can go places with these. I love the blue family walking/bicycle sign. These are all over the bike paths. Racks and racks of bicycles on the way to the train station. This is the first Swedish Military Bike that caught my eye. Below is an "Orange Julius" bike I saw in a store window. This is actually made by an American company, which is funny. Bike lanes are everywhere. This is a very old city bike. And here is my dream bike, a Swedish Kronan. These are available here for about 200USD; I would love to buy one and take it back, but that idea got vetoed real quick. I think the bike below is the ultimate city bike. My bike back home is more practical, but I would love to have one of these. I love bikes, and so does Stockholm. I am looking forward to exploring the city on a bike soon. Okay, there won't be any more paragraphs like that one.
