Cargo Bikes and the Science of Happiness (Small Group, Winter Edition)

Electric Cargo Bikes are an ideal way to explore Copenhagen in Autumn and Winter. While sitting in the box, you can wrap yourself in blankets, sip tea and marvel at the city. When driving, you get to choose how much effort you want to put into biking and let the electric assist do the rest.

Your guides Andreas (DE, EN, FR, ES), Victor (EN,IT,FR) and Eden(EN) will open the capital of happiness for you:
The discussions are a mix of excerpts from happiness research, personal anecdotes and historical curiosities. We look at “happiness by design” in public infrastructure and discuss how the fabric of Copenhagen’s society is promoting satisfaction among its residents. To dive into the topic, we stop every 10-15 minutes for an interpretative talk of the surroundings

With over 350 Five-star reviews on Airbnb, this is "Probably The Best" way to experience what it means to live in Copenhagen with insights into actual living, working and enjoying life in this Nordic city.
