The more bikes we can get on the road, the more good lives we can build. Thanks for joining us, we're excited to have you with us!" - Ole Kassow, Founder of Cycling Without Age

Get Started
A great way to get a flying takeoff is to invite and involve one or two experienced instructors from Cycling Without Age in Copenhagen. We will work with you to plan and execute your takeoff, help you identify relevant stakeholders from civil society and inspire them with workshops, talks and bike rides.
Each takeoff is based on best practice gathered from over 200 takeoff events worldwide, but tailored to each individual chapter’s needs. Our aim is to help you get the best possible start to your program, to tap into the wealth of experience and to facilitate for your chapter to come up with your unique innovations, which can be shared with our global community.
