I happen to have a Budapest bike map in front of me. It's all
written in Hungarian, which limits its comprehensibility, but it may
be issued by somebody called Frigoria www.alarmix.org/frigoria
I also have a bike map of all Hungary, showing a few major bike
routes. It looks as if the bike route along the Danube continues all
through Hungary, including though Budapest - on street through
Budapest. This map isn't written in Hungarian, it's in Dutch, which
I find equally incomprehensible. That one seems to be put out by the
Hungarian Tourist Office. I get the impression from the map that
cycling is forbidden on many main roads, not just on motorways.
