The Czech Republic

Travelling to the Czech republic on one of the low cost airlines with some
friends in May. We are going to Prague, but then on to some Czech World
Heritage sites. We;ll be there a week to ten days. Any views/comments
welcome on cycling there - particularly low traffic or Eurovelo routes.

We didn't cycle there but the road surface is as bad as
Westminster/Camden (unless that's changed since I commuted there in
the 90's).

We went there last year (without bikes).From what I saw, once you are out
of Prague, there is very little traffic(compared to the UK).It is quite
hilly,and a lot of the countryside is as it was 50 years ago - so lots of
really quiet lanes.
Bikes are allowed on the trains(and the trains are very cheap,but many are
v.slow).
See this site for info about a MTB Polaris type event in the Czech Rep.:

The guy who does the site can read English, so ask him your queries, and
you may get some informed opinions.
