Czech Republic has over 40,000 kilometres of marked cycling routes. Not all of them are worth your time. Some are poorly surfaced, others pass through industrial zones, and a few are genuinely spectacular.
I have been cycling in Bohemia and Moravia for more than a decade. This site collects what I have learned: which routes reward the effort, what conditions to expect by season, and where to stop along the way.
The information here comes from personal experience, not press releases. I update routes when conditions change and note when infrastructure has improved or deteriorated.

Czech cycling routes use a national numbering system maintained by KČT (Klub českých turistů). Single-digit numbers are long-distance routes, two-digit numbers are regional, and four-digit numbers are local loops.
Dedicated cycle paths (cyklostezky) are paved and suitable for road bikes. Marked routes on forest tracks (lesní cesty) require a hybrid or mountain bike. Route descriptions on this site always specify surface type.
