It won’t be long before there’s drama at Krokodillevej.

Copenhagen Sprint brings together people from all over the country for a folk bike race in the streets of Copenhagen. Politiken has been involved.

“You have to stop destroying the fence,” shouts a volunteer in a reflective yellow vest on H.C. Andersens Boulevard. A little lower down, he continues swearing. The four-lane road has been emptied of cars, and now there are only metal barriers as far as the eye can see.

This Saturday, the new Copenhagen Sprint cycling race rolls through the capital for the first time. A World Tour race for the world’s best riders.
