Cycling

Lithuania is as flat as a pancake, has relatively little traffic, a bracing coastline and lots of interesting places to see and explore making it an attractive destination for cyclists. Likewise, Vilnius is criss-crossed with cycle paths, is positively overflowing with parks and wherever you are in the city you’re never more than a brisk 15-minute pedal from the countryside. A well established, national non-profit organisation exists to help cyclists in many ways. Baltic Cycle offers everything from maps, cycling tours and even bicycle rental where you can pick up a machine in one country and drop it off in another. Political cyclists in Vilnius will be pleased to hear that the city now holds its very own Critical Mass (Kritinė Masė) on the last Friday of every month, weather permitting, starting from Cathedral Square at 18:00 sharp.
