One saturday every year, for the last 10 years in a row, racers from all over the world have gathered in Copenhagen.
The reason, Svajerløbet, the world’s classic race for cargo bicycles.
The races, by some also known as the Danish Cargobike Races Open or The Cargobike World Championships, always takes place somewhere inside our beautiful city. This year, so much is different.
Due to COVID-19 the Svajerløbet event, in the form we know it, is cancelled.
We announced that we wished to make a digital version of the race. However, looking into the reason why we organise the race, we will not be making a such event on Saturday after all. The race is a tribute to the cargo bike and the people using it as their transportation. Therefore we find it the most important, to encourage you all to go cycling this Saturday. Take your bike out for a spin, enjoy the wind in your hair and the freedom it brings you. If you want to take a photo and post it here, you are more than welcome, but the most important thing you can do Saturday, is not to spend time behind your computer but to spend time behind your handlebars.
We kindly ask all of you to take care of yourself, your family, your friends and all your fellow citizens. The more responsible we all act in these times, the better the chance that we will be able to meet up next year and race here in Copenhagen.
