Copenhagen and bikes go together like coffee and Danish pastries—absolutely perfect. Nearly half of the locals commute by bike, and once you hop in the saddle, you’ll get why. This city isn’t just bike-friendly—it’s built for it. With 397 km of silky-smooth cycle paths, scenic green routes, and clever bike features like the “Bicycle Snake” bridge and the “green wave” traffic lights (pedal at 20 km/h and catch green lights all the way), you’ll be cruising in style.
Biking here is more than just transportation—it’s a way of life. You’ll glide past canals, cosy cafés, colorful facades, and hidden gems you’d miss in a car or bus. Fancy a stop at the Botanical Gardens or a vintage shop in Nørrebro? Just park and go. And if you don’t have wheels, we’ve got you—rent one of our comfy e-bikes for 4 hours, 3 days, or even 6 days. We’ll even deliver and pick it up at your door.
Even better: cycling doubles as a sneaky workout. Copenhagen’s flat terrain is easy on beginners, and every ride gives you a boost of cardio, mood, and leg power. It’s sightseeing and fitness rolled into one—your vacation bod will thank you!
Safety-wise, Copenhagen is a cyclist’s dream. With separated bike lanes, cyclist-only traffic lights, and genius intersections (shoutout to the Copenhagen Left Turn), riding feels smooth and secure. And yes, locals follow the rules—and expect you to, too.
Which brings us to: The Fines. Copenhagen takes cycling laws seriously. Here’s how to avoid an expensive detour:
The rules are simple: keep right, signal your turns, and only one rider per bike (sorry, piggyback fans).
Bottom line? Book a bike or join one of our tours—and see Copenhagen the best way possible: the local way.
