\u201cEstonia is a paradise for cyclists\u201d claims Rein Lepik, the president of V\u00e4nta Aga cycling club in the city of Tartu.<\/p>\n
The good news:<\/p>\n
In Estonia there is a completely signed bicycle network: overview map (chlick here)<\/p>\n
See as well the seperate web page (unfortunately not often revised) www.bicycle.ee<\/p>\n
For the main routes there is a route description in Englishshop.balticcycle.eu<\/p>\n
The route descriptions and the cycle map from Estonia you may purchase via our web shop balticcycle.eu\/shop<\/p>\n
The main cycling targets in Estonia<\/p>\n
The Baltic Sea coast (National Cycling Route No. 1) in the west over the beautiful islands of Hiumaa and Saaremaa<\/p>\n
and the East \u2013 a meeting with lakes, forests and hills (No. 3 and No.4).<\/p>\n
The bad news:<\/p>\n
Even if the Estonians are doing very well, still some things are far from perfection:<\/p>\n
In Estonia we may find a network of signed cycle routes not bicycle pathes:<\/p>\n
These routes are mainly on existing (car) roads. Heavier transport parts are not completely avoidable<\/p>\n
in some regions there is still a lack in infrastructure \u2013 few places of accommodation, few food shops and of cause no restaurants<\/p>\n
some roads \u2013 specially in central Estonia \u2013 are just boring, in the way \u201e30 km straight, forest left and right, pass three cabins and next 30 km of forest\u201c\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
