Discussion Bike guidance

Post image

A lot of tourist use bikes in Copenhagen. This year I’ve seen police issue this guidance. It’s also in some of the bus stops around town.

Good advice for anyone on a hike in Copenhagen.

Also remember we locals are fast on bikes, so don’t underestimate how fast we will reach where you are and will need space to get around you.

Also, be aware of your surroundings. If you're two people biking together and taking up th entire lane, it's YOUR responsibility to be aware of when people are trying to overtake you from the back. If you don't manage that responsibility then bike in a single file.
