There is a bike path, but... 🤷

Two steps forward, one step back. :)

Bratislava: čo vzniklo v roku 2022

Napriek pomerne veľkému počtu rozbehnutých projektov mesta na výstavbu kvalitných oddelených cyklotrás sa ani v roku 2022 nedostala žiadna z nich do realizačnej fázy. Najbližšie k realizácii sú zrejme cyklotrasy na Mlynských nivách, Hradskej či O4 v Petržalke. Samostatné cestičky V tejto kategórii "pribudla" len jedna trasa realizovaná mestom, aj to je len (takmer) kozmetická...

@ticho @notjustbikes Of course I get, why it looks hilarious to you. But if it moved to Prague, it woud be marked improvement over what the city is doing here... )-:

@kytkosaurus @notjustbikes I mean, sure, it's better than no bike path at all, but c'mon! :)

Here's to hoping that Prague has a bicycle awakening soon too. Here in Bratislava, there are several bike path projects happening or in planning, how about there? Any websites for cyclists in Prague which inform about that? I'm curious.

@ticho @notjustbikes The situation here is best illustrated by Bubenské nábřeží - recent complete or almost complete reconstruction of 20 metre+ wide street. The main posted cycling route "A1" goes through there. And the solution for people on bikes? Some narrow paint-only lanes right next to tram tracks, next to narrow lanes for cars (wider cars reach into these cycle lanes). And a legalised wide pavement, with classic Prague paving stones... And our "most progressive" politicians and 1/2

@ticho @notjustbikes 2/2 Institute for "planning and development" call this a good compromise and maximum possible and try to pass it as improvement instead of the disaster it really is. Here is an article about it in English https://mestemnakole.cz/2023/07/bubenske-nabrezi-has-a-new-look-but-will-you-ride-on-the-sidewalk-or-in-the-cycle-lane/

mestemnakole.cz is the website you asked for I think. Covers whole CZE, but Prague coverage is there of course too. And they even have a (quite hidden) English version of many of the articles.

Bubenské nábřeží has a new look: you can choose to ride on the sidewalk or in the cycle lane - Městem na kole

So true.😢 If this was a photo of Prague, this wouldn't a tree, but a parking spot. Or, even more likely, a car parking there with its hazard lights blinking despite there not being a parting spot.
