Czech Republic Guide
Getting around
Cycling
Cycling is a popular leisure activity in the Czech Republic, and the rolling countryside, though hard work on the legs, is rewarding. Facilities for bike rental (půjčovna) are improving, especially in the more touristy areas, and the increasing number of bike shops makes repairs possible and spare parts slightly easier to obtain. To take your bike (kolo) on the train, you must buy a separate ticket before taking it down to the freight section of the station, where, after filling in the mountains of paperwork, your bike should be smoothly sent on to its destination.
