Despite the demise after just one running of the Danish women's World Cup race, Denmark's rise as a power in the world of cycling continues.

The World Cup team time trial - the Golden Hour which took place in 2006 was a great event, but not sustainable (and in Aarhus, not Copenhagen). 

Denmark, Copenhagen specifically, will host other world-class events over the next few years, such as the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup races 2008 & 2009, UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics races 2007-2008 & 2008-2009. 

In addition, World Championship events will be hosted by Copenhagen in the near future, namely the 2010 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and the 2011 UCI Road World Championships.

Bike City is a label used by the UCI to define famous cities "wanting to get involved in cycling (from competition to sport for all), as an environmentally-friendly leisure sport and a gentle means of transport". (source: UCI website). Organisation of major championships is a factor in the award, as are plans to build develop cycling via networks of cycle tracks and associated facilities.
