Prague Integrated Transport and bicyclists
Carriage of bicycles on public transport is an important supplement of bicycle transport as it enables cyclists to overcome longer distances, the city centre, steep uphills, water streams or other obstacles (poor weather, defective bike etc.). Bikes may be transported on the Metro system (subway), on trains, ferries and the bus line AE. Since bicycles are often used to get to a public transport station or stop, we also provide basic information on the B+R system and bike storage |

Difficult spots
When riding your bike, you may encounter obstacles that may threaten your save return home. Ideally, marked bike paths and routes do not contain such obstacles. However, risks can be posed even by kerbstones or drain covers. We have prepared a photo overview of such spots.
