Bikes, e-bikes, folding bikes and scooters
You can take a bicycle, electric bike, folding bike or scooter on all city buses, except in Aarhus, if there is space in the bus flex area. If the space is occupied, you will have to wait for the next bus.
Bikes and scooters must be left in the flex area, where you must fasten them in the harnesses. Bringing bicycles is at your own risk. There is space for max. 2 bikes.
The flex area will be shared with prams, wheelchairs and the like on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can search in the Journey Planner Rejseplanen to see if you can bring your bike, this is done by going to ‘customise search’, select bike and walking options, tick the box next to ‘I need to bring a bikecycle’.
