Cykelslangen (lit. 'Bicycle Snake') is a bridge for bicyclists in Copenhagen. It is 220-metre (720 ft) long, crossing Gasværkshavnen from Kalvebod Brygge in the west to Havneholmen to the east.
The name of Cykelslangen comes from the Danish word for a bike hose, along with the snake-like structure of the bridge.
The bridge was designed by Dissing+Weitling and opened to the public on 28 June 2014. The project cost 32 million Danish krone ($5.74 million).
