Our annual Master Classes return to Copenhagen and Paris in 2024!

If seeing is believing, then riding is transforming. There’s no better way to demonstrate the advantages of quality cycling infrastructure, services, and policies than to be immersed in it. And that's exactly what we strive to do during our annual 3-day intensive master classes. Whether in the classroom, on the street, or meeting with local experts from the cycling ecosystem you are immersed in the city and all things bicycle urbanism. This course teaches you all the essentials and provides you with the tools and strategies to make your city more bicycle-friendly.

We will host two editions of our master class again in 2024, our flagship master class in Copenhagen and our frenchified version in Paris. The Copenhagen Master Class is June 12th-14th and taught in English, the Paris Master Class will be September 25th-27th and taught in French. Both versions of our well-loved crash course in bicycle urbanism bring together best practices from Copenhagen and around the world for three days of talks, tours, workshops, great food, and excellent company.

The master class program

Day 1

We kick off our first day with an introduction to bicycle urbanism and sharing best practices from Copenhagen and around the world. We finish the day learning about cycling policy in the host city from a local expert, then have dinner with the Copenhagenize team and other participants. The Paris edition includes more examples and learnings from cities across France.

Day 2

The second day focuses on designing cycling infrastructure for all types of users and learning the role bikes play in making cities more inclusive and equitable. We will explore the host city and its cycling infrastructure by bike, then end the day with dinner including guests from the local cycling mobility ecosystem.

Day 3

On the last day, we learn important tools to make cities more bikeable and discuss how to use innovative communications techniques to promote cycling. We end the Master Class with a workshop where participants can apply the lessons learned over the past three days to their own city.
