Cyclists just have more fun
The ibikecph club is offering a welcome party for all the new cyclists in Copenhagen. There will be music, celebrities, free bike inspections, and, of course, lots of bikes

Even if you're new in town, you've probably already discovered that cycling is a regular part of everyday life for most locals. It is an easy, nice, and cheap way to get around. But perhaps it is a bit overwhelming for you just to jump on a bike and join in. Luckily, ibikecph is here to help you get a good start.

As a new cyclist, you are invited to the ibikecph welcome party on 2 September at Halmtorvet 15:00-18:00. There, you will be able to get a free inspection of your bike, take a biking tour with famous Danish actors and TV hosts, test drive all sorts of bikes, and enter to win an ibikecph bike.

Last but not least, there will be great music by Stella Polaris, and complimentary coffee, pancakes, and juice.

Social forum for cyclists

ibikecph is a social forum for cyclists in Copenhagen with the goal of sharing experiences and helping each other making Copenhagen an even better city to bike around in.

The technical framework for ibikecph is provided by Københavns Kommune (the municipality of Copenhagen), but members are all volunteers.
