Bicycles
If the weather's good, the best way to see Copenhagen is to go native and ride a bicycle . Cycling is also excellent for exploring the immediate countryside - bikes can be taken on S-Togs for 10kr through any number of zones; you can also buy a special bicycle klippekort , valid for ten journeys and costing 90kr. The excellent, city-wide cycle lanes make cycling very safe, though remember that lights are a legal requirement at night (you'll be stopped and fined if the police catch you without) and helmets are recommended at all times. There are a number of excellent cycle rental outlets in central Copenhagen: Københavns Cyklebørs, Gothersgade 157, Indre By (Mon-Fri 8.30am-5.30pm, Sat 10am-1.30pm; tel 33 14 07 17; 40kr/day, 185kr/week, 200kr deposit); Dan Wheel, Colbjørnsensgade 3, Vesterbro (Mon-Fri 9am-11am & 4pm-5.30pm, Sat & Sun 9am-2pm; tel 31 87 14 23; 35kr/day, 165kr/week, 200kr deposit); Københavns Cykelcenter, Reventlowsgade 11, along the side of Central Station (Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 9am-1pm, July & Aug also Sun 10am-1pm; 50kr/day, 225kr/week, 300kr deposit). The city also provides 2500 free bikes , easily recognized by the advertisements painted onto their solid back wheels, which are scattered about the city in racks at S-Tog stations and other busy locations; a 20kr refundable deposit unlocks one. Unfortunately, many of the bikes are in a bad state of repair, though you should be able to find a decent one if you look carefully. When you've finished with it leave the bike in a rack (you get your coin back automatically as you re-lock the bike), or just leave it on the pavement, in which case someone will happily return it for you and pocket the deposit. Don't secure one with your own lock and remember not to take one outside the inner-city limits or you risk a fine. It is also possible to rent a scooter - those under 50cc can use cycle lanes - from Peugeot, Frederiksborgvej 59, Nørrebro (tel 38 33 40 04; 250kr/day, 1000kr deposit) - you'll need to be over 18 and hold an international driver's or motorcycle licence.
