Taken from the Jorg & Olif website, a declaration that we at Starling & Hero passionately champion.
“At its heart is a keen desire to enjoy the journey, to take in the sights and to think about the whole wonderful process that is cycling.”
Here’s a sample of their manifesto
- Please ride the bike you have, in the clothes you like, at the speed you enjoy.
- Our bicycles give us the freedom of the city and the keys to the country.
- Hills and/or gradients may be walked.
- The recommended posture for slow bicycling is upright, straight-backed. Just like your mother taught you.
- The average speed of cyclists in Copenhagen is 15 km/h. This is the maximum speed for the Movement. (Unless going downhill and shouting Wheeeeeee!)
- Membership is contagious. Spread the slow word in low, sultry tones.
