Many local tourist offices in Denmark and also other organisations and companies, offer inclusive cycling holidays. These are really 'inclusive' as everything is organised in advance and the total arrangement is prepaid.

The holiday will include the rent of a bicycle with a carrier, two bicycle bags, bicycle basket, detailed route description with a map, ferry tickets (if required) plus overnight accommodation (either breakfast, half or full board according to one's wishes), service and VAT.

The bicycles are the standard Danish variety, with or without gears. If the tourist brings his own bicycle, the price of the holiday will be reduced by DKK 20-30 per day.

The routes are laid out by local experts which ensures that the minor roads with little traffic are used and, of course, that beautiful scenery can be seen along the way. Inclusive cycling holidays are quite independent, so one can begin the tour on whatever day is preferred.

The Bicycle:
According to Danish regulations, a cycle must have a bell, a white reflector pointing forwards, yellow reflectors on pedals and one reflector on the spikes of each wheel, plus a red reflector pointing backwards.
After dark (from sunset to sunrise) the bike must carry a white or yellow headlamp and a red taillamp. Both lamps must be visible from a distance of at least 300 metres.

A two-wheeled trailer must be equipped with two white reflectors in front and two red reflectors behind, as well as two yellow reflectors on both sides. After dark (from sunset to sunrise) the trailer must carry a red taillamp to the left. A one-person bike must have both a hub brake and a rim brake mounted on the front wheel. However, if the bicycle is older than 1st January 1998, a hub brake will suffice, unless the bike is designed to carry more than one person, or to be used when transporting children. If that is the case, both a front wheel brake and a hub brake are required. The same applies to cycles with trailer.

A good bicycle lock is recommended together with a lock which allows the bicycle to be secured to some kind of permanent objest. Thus theft is prevented in the best way.

Transport of Children on Bicycles:
Adults (aged 15 or more) may transport two children under 8 years of age on the bike itself in a special seat up front or behind the seat of the adult. Up to two children irrespective of age may be transported in a trailer, especially built for transport of children, if securely fastened . The total weight of children and trailer must not exceed 60 kg. If a child/children are transported in a trailer, the bike itself must only carry one child.

Traffic Rules:
Cyclists should ride close to the right-hand curb. If cycle lanes are provided, cyclist are obliged to take advantage of these. In Denmark, a cyclist wishing to turn left has to make a wide turn to the left.
You proceed to the opposite corner, stop and await that traffic is clear in the new direction. Then you proceed.

Bicycle Helmets:
A bike helmet is not obligatory in Denmark.
