beCopenhagen

Summer is over, but in Copenhagen all seasons are cycling season!

We prepared our bikes with winter tires and lights, and you can lend gloves if you forgot.

During the winter season our opening hours are varying, but we are open for prebookings here:

Not just bike rental…

When you rent a bike from us, renting includes:

• optional helmet
• bike lock
• bike lights
• city map with bike routes
• advice on where to go to get the most of your time

beCopenhagen was a wonderful find!
Renting a bike truly transformed our visit to Copenhagen, and allowed us to explore beyond the historic city center. We covered so much more ground than we could have on foot. The gentleman who helped us was kind, generous, and helpful with tips and suggested routes. Highly recommend.
Many thanks!

About beCopenhagen – sightseeing & bikes

What we do – our mission

beCopenhagen is unique sightseeing and events – explorations in our very own beautiful Copenhagen.

Our mission is to share the city that we know by heart from our own personal perspective. As locals we focus on matters that have an actual impact on everyday life in the present (and less on history and trivia), such as:

• livability,
• urban life,
• architecture,
• cycling culture,
• Nordic cuisine,
• vibrant nightlife,
• urban development,
• sustainability,
• …and more.

These are matters that contribute to the worlds best quality of life. And they are matters we as locals find the most important and unique to Copenhagen. They may have caught some international media attention, but haven’t made it to the typical tourist guides and tours before, and therefore in large go unnoticed by first time visitors – and even many Copenhageners.

As true Copenhageners we are keen on bikes and cycling. So when we include you in city life, there’s only one way – the local way. And that’s the bike way!

We have a few special types of bikes, that have each their qualities and features.

STRiDA

The STRiDA is a cool design city bike that folds. We use this for most of our public bike tours.
