Krk is promoted as a paradise for cyclists, but islanders increasingly see them as a traffic problem
The island of Krk is increasingly being presented as a destination for cyclists, but the reality on the ground is much harsher. There are far too few proper cycling paths, traffic is already overloaded, and cyclists, especially groups of recreational riders and the growing number of e-bike users, end up on the same narrow roads that islanders use every day to get to work, the shop, the ferry, school, the clinic or their apartments.
