Abstract

Cycling needs Mikael Colville-Andersen. in 2006, the Canadian-Dane snapped a moody shot of a Copenhagen street with a typically stylish female cyclist in the foreground. The so-called “photo that launched a million bicycles” became the foundation on which the now-global cycle chic phenomenon was built, mostly because Colville-Andersen, a born salesman, has an olfactory sensitivity to branding and marketing opportunities that would shame a bloodhound.
