I didn’t notice any cycling infra when I was there 2 years back, and as far as I could tell, some regional roads were barred to cyclists. (To the point of a randonneur ride around lake Balaton advertising that you needed specific permits for the main road)
Not that the side roads were bad. Cars were better behaved than they are in Ireland anyway.
- rexpress 5y agoCycling provision in Hungary is patchy, to a point where journeys may be impossible in areas where cycling is banned on certain roads. But as far as I can tell (without being able to understand Hungarian), it seems that there is a big push underway to develop infrastructure. I recently had a ride from Bük to Csepreg which was mainly on a separate cycleway by the road. From Csepreg I was able to enter forest tracks which were very beautiful. I've also noticed quite a bit of new infrastructure in various parts of the country. I can imagine Hungary becoming a very appealing cycling destination if they continue to develop the network.
