Three Areas That Matter for Every Cyclist
Whether you commute daily through Prague or head out on weekend gravel roads in South Bohemia, the same fundamentals apply: the right bicycle, correct protective gear and knowledge of the route network.
Bicycle Selection
Czech terrain ranges from cobblestone Old Town streets to muddy forest trails in the Šumava. Matching wheel size, frame geometry and gearing to actual conditions prevents costly mistakes.
Protective Equipment
Czech law requires lights and reflectors. Helmets are mandatory for riders under 18 and strongly recommended for all. Gloves, padded shorts and high-visibility layers complete basic safety coverage.
Route Infrastructure
Cycle route numbering follows the KČT and Klub českých turistů systems. Signed paths are regularly maintained; surface quality is documented on cyclomaps and the national Cyklostrategie portal.
