Story Transcript:

Da: Lars var på vej til arbejde på sin cykel, da hans kæde pludselig sprang af.
En: Lars was on his way to work on his bike when his chain suddenly snapped off.

Da: Han skulle have været på kontoret kl. 9, så han var desperat.
En: He should have been in the office at 9, so he was desperate.

Da: Kirsten cyklede forbi og tilbød at skifte cykler med ham.
En: Kirsten cycled past and offered to switch bikes with him.

Da: Hun beklagede, at hun kun havde sin mors cykel med en kurv foran og en kæde, der knirker.
En: She lamented that she only had her mother's bicycle with a front basket and a squeaky chain.

Da: De skiftede cykler og fortsatte mod centrum af København.
En: They changed bikes and continued towards the center of Copenhagen.

Da: Undervejs grinte de højt og jokede over den mærkelige kobling, de havde på cyklerne.
En: Along the way they laughed out loud and joked about the strange coupling they had on the bikes.

Da: Forsøgte at mane tilbage de fortabte smil i en travl verden.
En: Tried to call back the lost smiles in a busy world.

Da: Kirsten prankede ved at køre så tæt på Lars, at hans knæ rørte hende.
En: Kirsten pranked by driving so close to Lars that his knee touched her.

Da: De endte med at tage en tur langs Nyhavn og stoppede for kaffe på en café.
En: They ended up taking a walk along Nyhavn and stopped for coffee at a café.

Da: De indrømmede begge, at de vidste meget lidt om hinanden.
En: They both admitted that they knew very little about each other.

Da: Lars anerkendte, at han havde travlt med arbejdet og aldrig havde tid til at møde nogen.
En: Lars admitted that he was busy with work and never had time to meet anyone.

Da: Kirsten fortalte ham om sit lykkelige liv med sin mand og børn og om hendes passion for at cykle i sin fritid.
En: Kirsten told him about her happy life with her husband and children and about her passion for cycling in her spare time.

Da: Lars var inspireret af hendes entusiasme og tænkte over sit eget liv.
En: Lars was inspired by her enthusiasm and thought about his own life.

Da: Han indrømmede også, at han aldrig har cyklet så afslappet før, og at han nød turen mere end han havde forventet.
En: He also admitted that he has never cycled so relaxed before and that he enjoyed the ride more than he expected.

Da: Efter kaffen skiftede de tilbage til deres egne cykler og fortsatte med deres dag.
En: After the coffee they changed back to their own bikes and continued with their day.

Da: Men oplevelsen af at skifte cykler havde betydet meget for dem begge.
En: But the experience of changing bikes had meant a lot to both of them.

Da: De havde lært at nyde livets små øjeblikke og forstået, at det var okay at sænke farten engang imellem.
En: They had learned to enjoy life's small moments and understood that it was okay to slow down once in a while.

Da: Senere på dagen, da Lars mødtes med sin chef på kontoret, var han stadig strålende af glæde og entusiasme.
En: Later that day, when Lars met with his boss at the office, he was still beaming with joy and enthusiasm.

Da: Han besluttede at tage fri næste weekend og tage på en cykeltur med sin kone og børn i København.
En: He decided to take the next weekend off and go on a bike ride with his wife and children in Copenhagen.
