Frequently asked questions

What if it rains?

After 20+ years of Cykelkokken, we have become experts at this. You should prepare for an outdoor experience - but also know that a gastronomic bike ride will never be a survival ride. We follow the weather forecast and lay out the route the day before.

  • Might rain: the trip is planned near bridges or at places in the city where we can seek shelter while we eat. Copenhagen offers many nooks and crannies to explore! We always provide you with rain ponchos.
  • Extreme rain and wind: we go directly to Svajerbar, our cosy hut down in the Port of Copenhagen. We stay out cooking and those who want can stay inside in warmth and shelter.

“This is the most common question. First of all, it actually rarely rains. But to be honest, the most thrilling trips I have enjoyed have been when it starts to rain. When we all have to fit under a tree or a bridge. It always makes a group closer." - Morten Wulff, Cykelkokken

Please mail us at info@cykelkokken.dk latest one week in advance if you have any food allergies we need to know of.

How do you handle allergies and diets?

Please mail us at info@cykelkokken.dk latest one week in advance if you have any food allergies we need to know of.

Since we pack the food in the bike, we cannot change the servings during the tour. The same applies to special requests regarding beverages.

How should we dress?

Put on clothes according to the weather forecast. It is nice to be able to stay warm and dry with the right attire. It is always a good idea to bring wind or waterproof outerwear.  

What is Svajerbar?

Svajerbar is our small cabin at Kalvebod Bølge on works as our b-plan on our tours. It’s a container that has been insulated and made cosy, providing shelter in case of bad weather. This means you always have the option to step inside, while Cykelkokken continues cooking outdoors.

It’s located at the very edge of the inner city, with views of Islands Brygge and Sydhavnen – just a ten-minute walk from Central Station and Tivoli.
