GayCities Copenhagen editor, Paul Brummitt, has had a tough month already. While training for a triathlon–the 1/10 ironman at the World OutGames–he crashed his bike, breaking his wrist. Peeling himself off the road, he biked ten miles, balancing with one arm, to the nearest emergency room. “Must have been the adrenaline,” the British ex-pat writes from his home in Copenhagen, where spends his days as a freelance writer, English teacher and sales consultant.
Confined to the sidelines as a spectator in his own hometown, he will serve as a volunteer official for swimming and announcer. (And, with any luck, as an OutGames blogger for GayCities.) Now, he says, he has a “good excuse to go to GayGames in Cologne in 2010 – to do his first ever triathlon – they had better have it in the program!”
Paul created our Copenhagen guide, so he knows his way around the beautiful city of narrow cobblestone streets, canals, beaches–and vibrant gay nightlife.
Here’s a sampling of his faves:
- JailHouse–popular gay bar
- Amigo Bar–“If suffering from poor judgment! I have been known to only emerge in daylight even when it’s not summer.”
- Bang & Jensen–mixed bar
- Cafe Snork–mixed
- Late movies at Empire Bio–“It’s quiet even thought it’s big”–currently showing, appropriately enough, Bruno
- Bike rides everywhere–“I don’t go out most Saturdays so I can get up early Sunday morning and ride.”
