The city bikes in Copenhagen are world famous. When you tour the city you notice, that especially tourists love riding the city bikes. Some even regard them as the major tourist attraction of Copenhagen!
But don't get surprised, if you see an officially looking clerk on a city bike on his way to the office. The copenhageners themselves do some times use "bycyklen" as a quick alternative to cars, buses and taxis, when they want to get around in City.
The city bikes are Copenhagen! This is emphasized by the fact, thata city bike was the official gift from The City of Copenhagen to the American president, when he visited Copenhagen in 1997. Bill Clinton recieved a specially designed city bike called "City Bike One".
The city bikes are also a story about our town. They tell you that Copenhagen City is a little big green (horizontal!) town, in which youeasily get around. The cool yet funny design of the city bikes illustrates our playing approach to city-life.
City bikes give job-training
"Bycykelservice" maintains the city bikes. "Bycykelservice" is adepartement in the rehabilitation agency of Copenhagen. It trainsaround 30 rehabilitees. During a 6 month-training program the rehabilitee qualifies for a job on normal conditions. The program is asucces. Around 80% of the rehabilitees get a job afterwards, mainly as lorry drivers or bicycle repairers.
Environmental transportation
To encourage even more citizens to use their bicycle for transportation, The City of Copenhagen systematically expands the net of bicycle lanes and routes. Hence, you can get faster around in City by bicycle than by car or bus!
We see the city bikes as a positive, dynamic supplement to thistraffic structure. The city bikes highlight the status of Copenhagen asone of the leading bicycle-cities in the world!
For free you can almost without any restraints use the citybikes allover the inner city of Copenhagen. You only need a 20 DKK-coin for deposit. You put the coin in the locker of the city bike. You will get it back, when you put the city bike in one of the 110 city bike-racks.
Remember the traffic regulations:
Basicly the citybikes of Copenhagen are under public protection.
No protection=no city bikes! Hence, take good care of the citybikes.
Don't lock them with your own locker. The citybikes are for everybody.
Don't ride the citybike out of the citybike-zone.
Just follow these few rules, and you will become a noble artist of city biking in Copenhagen.
HAVE FUN!!
