Cycling in Copenhagen
I have visited Copenhagen to cycle around and study the cycling climate in the city. More information in the blog post:
Bike Tour in Copenhagen Denmark - is it worth it?
A review of our guided bike tour around Copenhagen, Denmark. We booked the tour through Royal Caribbean and it allowed us to see a lot of the city in a relatively short period of time.
CRAZY COPENHAGEN SELF-GUIDED BIKE TOUR - Copenhagen, Denmark - Leonard Does Europe S2 E2
According to all of the travel advice I found online, the best way to see Copenhagen is on a bike, which sounded like a lot of fun. But instead of waking up in time for a 10AM guided bike tour and spending a decent chunk of change, I had the bright idea to rent our own bikes and use Google Maps to navigate to all of the sites we wanted to visit!
It was only about $12 per person to rent a bike from Forum Cykler Værksted ( for an entire day. To put that in perspective, it would have cost $50 per person for a tour, so we saved nearly $120 by doing it ourselves, and we got to go at our own pace and linger at each site as long as we wanted.
And while we did have an awesome time visiting The Round Tower, Nyhavn, The Little Mermaid, and all of the sites in-between, there were a few things that I didn’t consider when planning this tour:
1. It’s nearly impossible to navigate with a phone on a bike unless you have a handlebar mount for it. I thought setting it in the basket would be sufficient, but every time we hit a bump or went over some cobblestones (which are pretty much everywhere in Copenhagen), the phone would shift out of sight. So I was constantly looking down into the basket and moving the phone around, which was pretty dangerous, especially considering the challenges of riding a “vintage” bike.
2. Google Maps still isn’t 100% ready for prime time when it comes to bike navigation. It’s like it combines walking and driving directions, but not in a very intelligent manner. I also HATE it when it tells me “Go south towards blah blah blah.” I don’t know which way south is, and I don’t know where “blah blah blah” is. So then I’d stand there, turning around in circles like an idiot until I thought I was pointing in the direction it wanted me to go, only to hop on the bike and realize, nope, I’m totally going in the wrong direction.
3. Turns out there’s a reason the guided tour starts at 10AM, doesn’t linger at every site, and finishes by 2PM: as a tourist, you do NOT want to be biking in Copenhagen anytime near rush hour! It was like the Tour de France, except with a bunch of tired, angry Danes. They were constantly yelling and cursing at us for not going fast enough or not using hand signals properly, and were millimeters away from ramming us whenever we tried to merge into a turn lane. White-knuckling it all the way back to the bike shop was not the best way to end the tour.
Anyway, in the end we made it back safely and had some fun stories to tell about our adventures. But for the typical tourist, I would absolutely NOT recommend doing your own bike tour. Leave it to the professionals, such as Bike Mike Tours (

Bicycle route The Green Path in Copenhagen, Denmark
Watch me ride the most interesting 3.3 km of the 9 km long dedicated bicycle and pedestrian path called The Green Path (Den Grønne Sti) in Copenhagen, my home town.
This is like a ring road for bicycles, as it follows a former rail line circumventing the city about 3 km from the center. The bicycle route connects the neighbourhoods Valby (West Copenhagen) with Frederiksberg, Nørrebro and Hans Knudsens Plads (North Copenhagen). My ride in this video is from Frederiksberg towards Hans Knudsens Plads.
Enjoy the nice and varied parks along the way - especially the last one, Superkilen (12:10), which is an award-winning park celebrating cultural diversity with design elements from 60 different nations!
The video is filmed with a hand-held GoPro Hero4 camera mounted on a Zhiyun Rider-M stabilizer.
The bicycle route is available on Google Maps here:
A journey around Copenhagen's bicycle innovations
This tour shows the latest bicycle innovations in Copenhagen: a wonderful new bridge (the Cycle Snake); the Green Wave, where cyclists going 20 Km/hr get the green light and might never have to stop because green LEDs are built into the road beside the bike lane; or bins inclined at a comfortable angle for cyclist to deposite trash without stopping his journey. The result of that is a 5% increase to 42% share of trips into the city and a lot fewer cars.
In words of Clarence Eckerson, Jr:
Copenhagen just keeps finding new ways to make it easier and more convenient to bike. Recently I had the chance to take a tour with Mikael Colville-Andersen of Copenhagenize and see some of the innovations that have changed the city's streets since I was there four years ago.
First off, if you've seen my 2010 Streetfilm about Copenhagen's bike infrastructure and culture, the busiest bicycle street in the world has changed: The Knippelsbro Bridge now boasts 40,700 riders per day! And speaking of bridges, Copenhagen is building six new crossings exclusively for biking and walking to help its citizens get around.
Last month another cool bridge debuted -- the Cykelslangen (Bicycle Snake). You'll see loads of footage as we traveled back and forth. It is truly a handsome piece of infrastructure. Even going uphill seems pretty easy!
You'll see lots of other things that will make you happy (or angry your city isn't doing more!), including waste baskets angled for cyclists, LED lights that indicate whether riders have to speed up to catch the green wave, and a cool treatment for cobblestone streets that helps make biking easier.

Exploring Copenhagen by Bicycle | European Bike Tour #18
Start the day by looking for a new hook for my pannier. Had to go to 5 different bike shops to find it. After that went to the little mermaid and the harbor, had a big downpour there.. Went back to the hostel and after that to Christianborgs palace where I could've gone on a tower but it was closed. Then to Amalienborg palace where the queen resides. In the evening I asked at the hostel for some Danish food. Went to the Copenhagen Street Food Market and tried some Smørebrød which was nice but very expensive.
Thanks so much for watching!

My First Trip to Copenhagen, Denmark | cari cakes in Denmark VLOG
Copenhagen, I am completely in love with you. I know I say it in the video but seriously every single interaction I had with people here (from the girl who gave me a bagel, to the guy who broke my kroner into coins so I could buy a transportation pass) was SO NICE. I know that we spent a lot of time in Tivoli (we planned to try to see some of the hidden giants outside of Copenhagen but the rain made it difficult) but I can tell that Copenhagen is a city I could easily live in. I wish I could go back already!!

Cycling Copenhagen with Children, Canines & Couples as Cargo
I was sitting in my hotel room after two days of shooting a few videos in Copenhagen and realized I had unconsciously become more fixated on capturing more on people riding with their children (and pets!) than in past trips. It could have something to do with the fact that I have a young son now.
Almost a joke I tweeted to Streetfilms fans asking if I put together a montage of kids and dogs being ferried about in Copenhagen would they watch it. I got over two dozen likes and plenty more replies in a very short time. So while at the airport waiting for my flight to Oslo and also using the flight time and bus ride to hotel, I put stitched this lovely bike poem together.
I hope you like it. Especially because I almost never use slow-mo. Why? I see people that lean on it all the time as a style. For me, I think it's best to use it sparingly. I've used slow-motion maybe twice in 700 Streetfilms. But this time it felt so right. Enjoy.
