Can you take a cargo bike on the train or metro in Denmark?

Large bikes stay off board.

Short answer

No: as a rule, cargo bikes, tandem bikes, bike trailers and other large bikes may not come on buses, trains or the Metro. On DSB trains the list also covers fatbikes, long johns and segways, for reasons of space and safety. The light rail in Odense takes only two-wheeled bikes, not cargo bikes, long johns or tandems. Midttrafik in Aarhus does not take three-wheeled adult bikes, cargo bikes or bike trailers either.

Transport and mobility

Why

  1. Space in the flex areas is limited.
  2. The ban covers trains, metro, bus and light rail.
  3. Tandems and trailers are banned too.

Details

Special rules apply to bikes for disabled people, so ask the operator before you travel with one.

Tip

If you need a cargo bike for a day trip, rent one at your destination instead of taking yours on the train.

What may differ

Rules for handicap bikes and special bikes can differ between operators.

Common misconception

A cargo bike can come on the S-train outside rush hour.

What actually happens

Cargo bikes are not allowed on DSB trains, including the S-train, at any time.
