BICYCLE
Copenhagen vies with Amsterdam as the world's most bike-friendly city. Most streets have
cycle lanes and, more importantly, motorists tend to respect them.
Bikes can be carried free on S-trains, but are forbidden at Nørreport station during
weekday peak hours. Enter carriages through the middle door and keep your bike behind
the red line in the designated bicycle area. Stay with the bike at all times. Bikes can be car-
ried on the metro (except from 7am to 9am, and from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, on weekdays
from September to May). Bike tickets cost Dkr13.
SMART CITY BIKES
These high-tech 'Smart Bikes' feature touchscreen tablets with GPS, multi-speed electric
motors, puncture-resistant tyres and locks. The bikes can be rented from a handful of
docking stations dotted across the city, including at Central Station, Vesterport, Øster-
port and Dybbølsbro S-train stations, and on Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square). Available
24/7, 365 days a year, rental costs Dkr25 per hour and must be paid by credit card via the
bike's touchscreen. For further information and a full list of docking stations, visit the
Bycyklen website.
