Danes, in more ways than one, go through all kinds of different cycles in their lives. So it’s no surprise that Scandinavia’s biggest bicycle fair is wheeling its way into Copenhagen this March.

Held in the atmospheric setting of the old locomotive workshops near the Fisketorvet shopping centre, there is something for all cyclists: intrepid triathletes, lycra-clad tour de France wannabes, busy mums and dads, and trendy urban hipsters.

You can try the iron horse of your choice on the test track and take a break with the young ones in the kids’ zone.
