MIKAEL KYNEB

Location: Copenhagen

It's a little cold this morning, cold and grey, but Copenhagen is buzzing. The traffic is intense and it feels as if road works are everywhere.

One train after another departs from Østerbro Station, the hum of iron on rail cutting through the air.

The city still looks a little sad after a long winter, but there is beauty in Copenhagen, even in chilly, grey February.

In the middle of the living room stands his road bike. Black, classic geometry - and without a bicycle computer. Classic brakes and no electronic gearing - understated.

“Cycling really became a lifeline for me,” Mikael explains. “Coming from something that was dysfunctional in my childhood, a difficult childhood - cycling was a way out of the darkness."

It's about noon and Mikael has a break between treatments. He rarely has more than four treatments in a day. He gives a lot of himself and also needs free space for himself.

This is where cycling comes into the picture again. He dresses. Several layers, to keep out today’s cold wind.
