If not, then we recommend you to have a look at Expat in Denmark's concise list of the main bike rules and the use of bike lights.

Fake e-mails from SKAT

The Danish tax authority SKAT warns against fraud emails

SKAT has been notified of several recent instances in which tax payers have received e-mails appearing to be sent by SKAT. Some of these fake emails contain links to websites or requests for credit card details - elements which SKAT would never ask for in an e-mail. Therefore recipients are strongly adviced to delete such mails.

Read more about the fraud and see examples of fake e-mails on SKATs website.
