New Prague cycle track

Prague has new bicycle lane. Yesterday was officially opened by vice-mayor of Prague Jan Bürgermeister. On bike, of course. The lane is about two and half kms long and starts in centre of Prague near Rudolfinum and leads on quay to Libensky bridge. There can bikers continue to north to Roztoky or to east to Kyje.

The bicycle lane was officially opened in these days because of floods in last weeks. Now it leads on side-walk, cobblestones and one part of lane is next to an old batching plant and new building site, where will be a park and a recreation place.
But all this imperfections will be removed.

Prague counts with 34 millions Czech crowns in year 2006, which will be used to build bicycle lanes in Prague. That is in comparison with last year with 18 millions CZK huge difference. But there is still problem with travelling on bicycle in Prague: Most of lanes are for trips, but get to some place in Prague on bike is still a problem.

Longest cycle tracks have from 13 to almost 27 kilometers. This one leads from National Theater through Karlin, Hrdlorezy, Kyje, Dolni Pocernice and Dubec to Kralovice.
