Line Barfod

Mayor for Technical and Environmental Affairs - City of Copenhagen
Copenhagen - Denmark
As mayor, I envision a city moving full-speed towards a socially just, green transition. A city bubbling with life, play, and work, designed for cyclists and pedestrians—where everyone can enjoy a high quality of life. I am thrilled that Copenhagen will host a World Tour Cycling race in the summer of 2025. We welcome cyclists from all over the World to come join us and celebrate the connection between everyday cycling and competitive sports.
