Description

Up and running since the early 1990s, city bikes are very much part of the Copenhagen scene. Based on the same principle as an airport luggage cart, you put 20kr into the slot and the bike is yours for as long as you cycle. The bikes are specially made so as to discourage long-distance rides, and along with a system of fines, this helps keep them in the inner city zone. There are 2000 bikes that you can pick up from one of 110 racks dotted throughout the city center.
