TRANSCRIPT
The Danish entrepreneurial company Copenhagen Bike Company's owner is a quality-conscious
entrepreneur who does not compromise on craftsmanship, quality or taste. He will live his dream of
designing bicycles and helping metropolises worldwide with increasing traffic by mobilizing more people
to cycle.
Behind Copenhagen Bike Company stands owner Ole Hjortlund Svendsen, who in 2017 took the leap from
a prestigious and well-earned job as international sales manager at Georg Jensen Denmark to make a
startup with bicycles, which he believes is the means of transport of the future.
We want to help increase urban mobility and sustainable transportation in the world’s largest
metropoles.
Urban mobility and air pollution are becoming an increasingly larger problem in metropoles all over the
world. More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and by 2050 the urban population is
projected to grow with another 2.5 billion people globally. This growing urbanization could ultimately
increase pollution, damage citizens health and make it more difficult for people to get around. We want to
be a part of the solution for this problem – — make it easier for people to move through the city in a quick,
easy and sustainable way.
We want to utilize Copenhagen’s global image as a sustainable, environment-friendly and dynamic
city for bicycling.
Bicycling represents the future of transportation. It is cheap, it’s healthy, it’s less stressful, it’s fast, it’s
extremely environment-friendly and it gives unique mobility even in the largest cities. In Denmark,
bicycles are the most popular mean of transportation and up to 50% of all Copenhageners use their bike as
their preferred mean of transportation to get to and from work every day. A city’s live ability is highly
connected to urban mobility and we want to use Copenhagen’s global image to communicate this to the
rest of the world.
We want to create classic, elegant and simple bicycles that builds on the history of Copenhagen and
fulfills the current and future mobility-needs of metropoles around the world.
Cycling is a sustainable and dynamic way of getting from A to B. We want to help more people use the
bicycle as their preferred mean of transportation in their everyday life. In order to do so, we want to create
a unique series of bicycles that are elegant, classic and simple to use.
Hand-built luxury
Copenhagen Bike Company focuses on a meticulous design and good craftsmanship. Therefore, every
detail on the bicycle has been considered and every bicycle is hand-built from scratch. The frame is
formed with CR-MO tubes that are considerably stronger than normal steel, while remaining light in
weight. All frames are formed by hand, which means that every bicycle is adjusted to fit the cyclist’s
height. This means that when you order a bicycle from Copenhagen Bike Company we build it for you
personally.
Chain protector
Copenhagen Bike Company have designed a unique chain protector. The chain protector is special
aesthetically due to its minimalistic design and clean lines. It curves along the chain discretely without
disturbing the eye. In an almost invisible way this detail once again emphasizes Copenhagen Bike
Company’s thorough design process.
Ride in style
Copenhagen Bike Company aim at working with the best suppliers of the components. All bicycles are
equipped with a Brooks™ leather seat, which combines a comfortable design with high quality materials.
Additionally, all handlebars are also produced in leather to give the cyclist a comfortable grip.
The City Cruiser
City Cruiser is designed and built based on the idea that a bicycle should be just as comfortable and
elegant as a classic sports car or a German limousine. Therefore, the City Cruiser is built with the same
materials that you would expect from these vehicles – metal, wood and leather. But unlike luxury cars the
City Cruiser is simple. The bicycle is equipped with foot breaks and either 3 or 7 gears.
The Beach Cruiser
Beach Cruiser is an attempt at creating an organic extension of the human, that uses their ride from A to B
as a break from the hustle of the city. Wide tires, curved frame, the soft seat and a wide handlebar – all for
the sake of the cyclist. While keeping the Beach Cruiser as discreet and simple as possible. No bells and
whistles. We believe there is already plenty of noise.
Business Bikes design and branding
The possibilities are many, we can customize and put together exactly the bike that suits your business.
We would like to offer creative opportunities for logo placement, so the bike retains its delicious design.
Branded bicycles are not only branding of your company but also send a coolness and environment signal,
it’s also encouraged cycling initiatives and a healthier lifestyle for employees.
