About This Resource
What This Guide Covers
Czech Cycling Guide documents the physical infrastructure for cycling across Czech cities and regions. The content draws on official municipal data from Prague's Institute of Planning and Development (IPR Praha), EuroVelo's route database, and on-the-ground notes from cycling across the country.
The goal is a factual, up-to-date reference — useful for daily commuters, touring cyclists passing through, and anyone comparing what the infrastructure map shows versus what conditions are on the road.
