Guide Review - CityBike: Free Bicycles In Copenhagen, Denmark
Denmark's capital has over 1,300 CityBikes which are parked in over 110 bicycle stations downtown. You get your deposit back when you drop off the bike at one of those stations.
Copenhagen expands the net of bicycle lanes and routes continually, making this free alternative form of transportation quicker than cars and busses. City Bikes are available all the time (limited or no availability during servicing January - March).
Fun fact: The City of Copenhagen gave one of the bikes as an official gift to the American president Bill Clinton, when he visited Copenhagen in 1997. His bicycle was called "City Bike One" (in reference to Air Force One).
