As we know from recent news, Europe will be short of 105,000 bicycle mechanics by 2032. To help combat this shortage, the Danish bicycle industry has created its own job portal. Cykeljobs.dk was created by the team behind Copenhagen Bike Show and brings the industry’s vacancies together in one place.
Bike shops and workshops are struggling to hire. Mechanics are the hardest to find, but shops also need sales staff who know e-bikes and cargo bikes. At the same time, their job ads get lost on the big job sites among listings for accountants and teachers.
“When we talk to the exhibitors at Copenhagen Bike Show, the same topic comes up again and again: They can’t find the right people. So we built a place where the jobs and the people who know the industry can meet,” says Christian Ritter, who runs Copenhagen Bike Show and VeloDays.
Cykeljobs.dk went live on October 8. It already lists more than 60 vacancies from 22 companies, from the local bike shop to Danish chains such as Fri BikeShop, Cykelexperten and Design Cykler, and international brands like GripGrab, Swapfiets and DAHON. Jobs can be filtered by region and type: Mechanic and workshop, sales and retail, warehouse, management, and apprenticeships.
Job alerts by email: Job seekers can set up a free job alert and receive new jobs in their region by email, daily or once a week. No login is needed.
Free for employers during the launch: Employers can post jobs for free with a Standard listing until March 31, 2027. Every job gets its own page and a ready-made image for sharing on Facebook and LinkedIn.
“We want the whole industry on board from the start. If you have a vacancy, send it to us,” says Christian Ritter.
