Colourful bikes inspiring people to try out the Greater Copenhagen biking culture

Biking is healthy, convenient and good for the environment, and in Greater Copenhagen Region we love to bike! Do you?

Five colourful bikes are about to show up in five cities across the Greater Copenhagen Region, encouraging passers-by to celebrate its thriving biking culture. Just as Tour de France kicks off in Copenhagen, Invest in Skåne and Copenhagen Capacity are launching a campaign to challenge people around the globe to share a photo of a memorable biking experience with a caption on the #ibike campaign site.


Starting at the Roskilde festival, five bikes will be placed across the region – from Tour de France in Copenhagen, and Malmö Pride, to Gullbrannafestivalen in Halmstad and Lund – inspiring people from all over the world to taste the Greater Copenhagen Region’s biking lifestyle. As part of a digital campaign, the bikes will encourage people to share their biking photos online on the #ibike campaign site. The participants will get the chance to win popular bike equipment developed in the region, sponsored by MATE, PåHoj, Hövding, and IAMRUNBOX. Renowned for its bike-friendly infrastructure, Greater Copenhagen Region is home to leading biking solution brands and sustainable innovation.
