Cycling is part of daily life in Copenhagen. In this guide we share how to keep your city bike rolling through a Danish winter, with practical tips you can apply today.

Start with the right bike

Dress in layers

Wind chill is the real enemy on a bike. A tall, narrow portrait image is handy here to show a full-height cycling outfit from boots to hat.

Keep your lights charged

Follow these three habits and your bike — and you — will get through the winter in good shape. Tak for at læse!
