Climate change presents a significant global challenge, with the transport sector constituting a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, sustainable mobility has emerged as a key strategy for mitigating environmental impacts and enhancing urban quality of life. This study examines Copenhagen as a leading example of cycling-oriented urban mobility. The research applies the Copenhagenize Masterclass methodology, structured around three principal dimensions: space, culture, and ambition. Data were gathered through field observations and empirical measurements conducted during the Masterclass in Copenhagen (June 2024), encompassing cyclist counts, behavioural patterns, and infrastructure assessments. The results indicate that high cycling rates are achieved through integrated, long-term planning that combines safe and efficient infrastructure, a strong cycling culture, and sustained political commitment. Collectively, these factors enable the widespread adoption of cycling in daily urban mobility. The study concludes that a holistic, data-driven approach facilitates an effective transition to sustainable mobility and provides a transferable model for other cities.
