CPH Cycling Guidelines

#1 Keep right at all times.

#2 Raise your hand up high before you stop.

#3 Give clear arm signals to the right or left before turning.

#4 Check over your left shoulder before over-taking other road-users.

#5 Always overtake other cyclists on the left.

#6 Do not ride against the traffic flow or on side-walks/ pavements, pedestrian crossings or pedestrian streets.

#7 Cycling is not allowed in parks in central Copenhagen.

#8 To turn left at an intersection you must first cross to the opposite right corner of the inter-section where you stop and wait for the traffic light to change before continuing.

#9 A short ring on the bell is often a signal that a cyclist wants to pass – so please keep to the right.

#10 From dusk to dawn, bicycles must be equipped with lit bicycle lights front and rear.

Copenhagen is a city with dense bicycle traffic. During rush hours it is especially important to be aware of your fellow road-users. In this guide are a couple of tips for cycling safely and comfortably around the city.

Bicycle helmet

It is important to feel safe on a bicycle in traffic. If you feel safe using a bicycle helmet you should wear one. App. 30 % of all cyclists in Denmark wear a bicycle helmet and many bike rentals in Copenhagen also rent out bicycle helmets.

Copenhagen won the title as the world’s most bicycle -friendly city in 2017.

Every day, locals in Copenhagen cycle 1,390,000 km, the equivalent of 32 times around the equator!

49 % of commutes to work or study in Copenhagen are done by bike.

Bike share, scooters and e-bikesAs many other cities, Copenhagen has a public bike share scheme that allows everyone to cycle around the city. The bicycles feature optional electric assistance and a tablet with a navigation system. The bicycles are located at charging stations around the city, and you can see available bicycles at www.bycyklen.dk/en/find-a-bike

Apart from bicycles, electrical scooters, speed pedelecs and other small individual electrical vehicles are also allowed to use the bicycle tracks, thanks to a temporary trial scheme introduced in 2019. Please respect the rules and varying travel speeds of fellow traffic users.

The bike on the Metro, train and harbour busHarbour bus

You can bring your bicycle on all buses. Remember to buy a ticket for your bicycle.

MetroYou can bring your bicycle on the Metro at all hours except during the morning and afternoon rush hours from 7:00-9:00 am and 3:30-5:30 pm.Remember to buy a ticket for your bicycle.

S-train

You can bring your bicycle on the metropolitan rail service (S-trains) at all hours free of charge. However, you may neither enter nor exit the train with a bicycle at Nørreport Station during rush hours from 7:00-8:30 am and 3:30-5:00 pm due to congestion.

National rail

You may bring your bicycle on most national and regional trains, including InterCity and InterCityLyn trains, at all hours. You must purchase a ticket for your bicycle. When travelling with InterCity trains you may also be required to make a seat reservation for your bicycle.

The Green Cycle Routes

Copenhagen’s Green Cycle Routes are popular with commuters and recreational cyclists alike.

The total 62 kilometres of Green Cycle Routes in Copenhagen give you a chance to enjoy slow rides on segregated bike lanes in leafy surroundings away from motorised traffic.

The Green Cycle Routes let you experience the changing of the seasons. Copenhageners use the green spaces along the routes for pastimes and sports activities.

The Green Cycle Routes run through historic urban areas with parks, lakes and neighbourhoods that give each route its own unique character.

The Harbour Circle

The Copenhagen Harbour Circle is a new combined cycling and footpath route along the city’s inner harbour.

The route takes you through regenerated docklands with vibrant urban life and past the city’s landmark waterside attractions. The Harbour Circle is a shortcut to the rich diversity the city has to offer and can be experienced on bike rides, running trips and leisurely walks.

The Copenhagen Harbour Circle runs through an area of great contrast with magnificent waterfront architecture nestled alongside humble houseboats.

With its waterside recreational activities, the Copenhagen harbour area is the very essence of what makes the city such a vibrant and liveable experience.

The Harbour Circle offers a unique harbourside experience in the heart of the city for cyclists and pedestrians.
