What is Cyclists Welcome

Anyone who cycles in the Czech Republic will have run into the problem of inadequate services for cyclists. Your hotel has nowhere for you to store your bike, the staff have no idea where the nearest bike repair shop is, and restaurants do not usually cater for those doing strenuous exercise. The Cyclists Welcome project is here to improve the quality of services for cyclists.

ABOUT PROJECT
Cyclists Welcome is a nationwide certification scheme for evaluation and inspection of the tourist services and facilities of participating establishments. Certified establishments are labeled with a green and white logo depicting a smiling bicycle. The certification involves standards comparable with systems in other European countries (e.g. Bett & Bike in Germany and RADfreundliche Betriebe in Austria). Every tourist facility that wants to be awarded the Cyclists Welcome logo must meet certain requirements.

CZECH ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION
The initiator and manager of the project is the Czech Environmental Partnership Foundation (Nadace Partnerství), the leading Czech foundation supporting environmental projects in all regions of the Czech Republic. Its cycling-related work includes the highly successful Greenways program (including the Moravian Wine Trails and Prague-Vienna Greenways).
