WHAT DOES THE ACTIVITY INVOVLVE?

A bicycle is the ideal mode of transportation when getting around in Copenhagen. However, not many cultures have the same tradition of biking as the Danes. Being able to ride a bicycle can be very empowering. It may be a good ability to possess in order to acquire certain jobs in Copenhagen, e.g. in the home care service.

As a participant, you will learn to bicycle in a safe and closed area before moving out into the traffic. You will also learn the traffic rules and how to maintain a bicycle.

There is of course time for pleasant coffee breaks where you can exchange experiences. The bicycling course is free, and we provide bicycles and helmets, so you just have to turn up.

Remember to wear practical clothes and practical shoes.

The bicycle team in Vanløse and on Amager are starting up again the 13th of August and the team on Frederiksberg are starting up again on the 6th of September.

BECOME A VOLUNTER

As a volunteer, you will teach balance, maneuverability, bicycling in traffic, traffic rules and basic bicycle maintenance.

Cycling training takes place from March to October with a break in the middle of summer. You will be assigned to a volunteer group in a specific area, so you show up at the same place each time, and you are welcome to sign up with a friend or family member.

 

WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING OF YOU?

The prerequisites for being a volunteer are that you can ride a bike, know the traffic rules, have an interest in communicating and have a good amount of patience. You do not need any specific professional background, but it is an advantage if you are pedagogically minded.

 

WHEN AND WHERE ARE YOU HELPING?

Bicycle training is free of charge and is offered at various locations, 2 hours each weekend. The training takes place from March to October with a shortbreak during the summer holidays.

As a volunteer, you typically teach together with 4-5 other volunteer cycling coaches. 

Bicycle training is offered in Amager on Sunday at 11-13, at Frederiksberg on Wednesday at 15.30-17.30 and in Vanløse on Sunday at 10-12.

You can see the address if you hold your mouse over the red box on the right.

The team in Amager starts up on Sunday 5 March 2023 and the team in Vanløse starts up again on Sunday 16 April 2023.
