Detailed description (English): Copenhagen Bike Festival will take place on 16 - 19 September 2021 with workshops for professionals the two weekdays and various bicycle events during the weekend for the public.
As a participant, you will be able to participate in workshops that shed light on the diverse role of cycling in the green transition, the SDGs, public health and network with bicycle professionals from home and abroad. There will also be a political debate about the future role of bicycling in Copenhagen with representatives from the various political parties.
During the weekend there will be a large number of events in the urban space, such as the Danish Championships for bicycle couriers, guided tours through the city's famous and less
famous places, cargo bike procession, demo of bikes, bike clinics etc.
Copenhagen aims at being the world's best cycling city. And Copenhagen can on many
ways to live up to that reputation due to a good cycling infrastructure and rich tradition of cycling.
Copenhagen is being challenged by many other cities that want to be the leading bicycle cities, and there is therefore a need for new initiatives and initiatives to maintain Copenhagen's status.
Denmark has committed itself to the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals and a reduction of 70
percent of CO2 emissions by the year 2030. The transport sector accounts for a large and ever-increasing CO2 emission, and therefore there is great potential in cycling in the green transition. Copenhagen Municipality's Climate Plan 2025 aims for 50 percent of trips to work or education to take place by bicycle.
Ergo, there is a need to motivate people away from cars and onto bikes and to keep the focus on cycling as a driving force in the green transition. On top of a year with the Corona pandemi, we all need to get out and exercise and get good social experiences. Cycling is an obvious choice to increase well-being and public health.

Detailed description (original language): Copenhagen Bike Festival vil foregå den 16. - 19. september 2021 med to hverdage
med faglige workshops for professionelle aktører og en weekend for alle.
Man vil som deltager kunne deltage i workshops, der belyser cyklismens mangfoldige rolle i den grønne omstilling og netværke med cykelaktører fra ind- og udland.
I weekenden vil der være et stort antal events i byrummet som fx Danmarksmesterskaber for cykelbude, guidede ture gennem byens kendte og mindre kendte steder, ladcykel-optog, demo af cykler og udstyr mm.
København skal være verdens bedste cykelby. Og København kan på mange måder leve op til det ry pga. en god cykelinfrastruktur og rig tradition for cykling. København bliver udfordret af mange andre byer, der ønsker at være den førende cykelby, og der er derfor brug for nye tiltag og initiativer til at fastholde Københavns førerstatus.
Danmark har forpligtiget sig på FNs 17 verdensmål og en reduktion på 70 procent af CO2 udledningen inden år 2030. Transportsektoren tegner sig for en stor og stadig stigende CO2 udledning, og derfor ligger der et stort potentiale i at indtænke cykling i den grønne omstilling. Københavns Kommunes Klimaplan 2025 har som mål, at 50 procent af ture til arbejde eller uddannelse skal foregå på cykel. Ergo er der brug for at motivere folk væk fra biler og over på cykler og til at holde fokus på cyklismen som drivkraft i den grønne omstilling.
Ovenpå et år med Corona pandemi trænger vi alle til at komme ud og røre os og få gode sociale oplevelser. Cykling er et oplagt valg til at øge trivslen og folkesundheden.
