When I came to Denmark I learned to ride a bike. It was a very scary and humbling experience to learn as an adult, but now I love it. There are cycle paths almost everywhere and bikes have right of way. Cars wait for you… yes really. My sister-in-law spent a day going around Copenhagen on a bike after her knee surgery. She could not walk, but she could cycle.

Q: Can I take my Bike on the train/bus/Taxi?

A: Yes you can. There is a special compartment on the trains where you can put the bike. It is the same low entry that prams pushchairs and wheelchairs use so it is better if you can to avoid rush hour. For a copy of the tourist information from DSB click here, this is available in other languages.

All taxis have a special carrier they put on their tow bars to carry bikes.

Q:  Are there specific cycling routes?

A: In Denmark there are strict requirements as to the signposting of cycle routes. National, regional, and local routes are now marked in a way that makes it easy to distinguish the routes from one another.

The national routes are signposted with route numbers from 1-10 with white numbers on a red square.
However, there is one exception: the signs on route 10 are green with red numbers. The other National cycle routes are here.

The regional route signs look much the same as the national ones – only the numbers (16-99) are white on a blue background.

The local route signs look much the same as the regional ones – only the route numbers are 100-999.

Danish people all cycle from toddlers on peddles bike to mature people who cycle well into their mature years. I have seen a mother taking her 3 kids to school on her bike in the snow. The bike paths are swept as quickly as the roads.

Denmark has a lot of forests and most are accessible to bikes. There are many marked bike route the National ones marked with a red  sign and the local one marked with blue signs.

Q: Are you close to a National cycle route?

My bed and breakfast is close to the national route number 9, click here. The other National cycle routes are here.

Q: What is the highest hill in Denmark?

A: Highest hill in Denmark is only 170 m.

Q:  Where can I buy guides in English for cycle routes?

A: For a link to buying guides in English click here.
