Biking in Hungary - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

06-14-2004, 08:47 PM

Hello,

I live in New York and have been an active biker for almost a year
now. I will be moving to Budapest, Hungary for a few months, and
wanted to know if there are any good biking routes near Budapest. I
would like to keep up my regime of biking at least 40 miles every
other day, but I wouldn't mind taking in some sights too.

Does anyone have experience with this or a site that might have
information? My searches on Google have only lead me to vacation
getaway packages that do not interest me.

Thank you

Sorry, I know nothing about that. But:

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 [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

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.
