Young adults from 16 years of age are welcome to ride without parental guardians.

Children under 16 must ride with a guardian, one per child. We have tried different tours with our own children and our experience is that from 12 years the children enjoy the challenge, when they are younger riding in a drizzle gets “boring”. But, every parent / guardian knows their child best so we feel that you have last call. We do not have a family discount or special child price as we support the riding children around the tour with as much care as adult riders. Children in child chairs and wagons ride for free.

No, we try not produce things that are not necessary. That is one of our contributions to save our environment. We are trying to arrange for a great selfie spot at the finish as a substitute.

We do want to work with something sustainable in more than one way. We like biking and think that Stockholm is a fantastic city to enjoy from the saddle. So to us it is a privilege to get to share our fantastic city, without cars, with you for a couple of hours a year. Our bonus is the 20000 kids we have had in our bike-school so far.

Yes, there are toilettes at the start and finish-area, and in a few spots around the route.

No, as speed isn´t the main thing we suggest you bring a basket or knapsack to put your extra belongings.

The closest area is in hagaparken or in Solna We will circle parking areas on the map closer to the start.

Please note that Stockholm and Solna has a parking fee at all times.

All organizations that help us with volunteers get a donation to their club based on the number of volunteers they have provided. The volunteers that are out during the tour get all the material that they need to fulfill their task.

We need you to be 16 or older. If you come with a group from an organization we always keep a dialogue with the group leader about the composition of the group.
