The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a waterproof layer
Showers in Copenhagen can arrive suddenly; a lightweight rain jacket keeps you riding through a drizzle.
Watch tram tracks and cobbles
Cross tracks at a perpendicular angle and pick a smooth line on cobblestones to avoid slips.
Carry a small lock and pouch
Even on guided tours, secure quick stops with a compact lock and keep belongings in a zipped pouch.
Stay visible and signal
Use hand signals and ride predictably—Copenhagen drivers and cyclists expect clear intentions.
