Prague MTB insider

Organisations

Thanks to the popularity of biking, many organisations, websites and shops address the topic (even if in the Czech language for most).

Organisations

ČEMBA - The national mountain bike association that acts into improving conditions for bikers especially negotiating with national institutions ragarding the right to ride (e.g. national parks). Although recently this association experiences some internal crisis of power.

Český svaz cyklistiky - The national cycling association that does not focus on maintain biking but that is on the other hand the organisation defining competition rules.

Websites

MTBS - The leading website about mountain biking. It publishes news, a calendar of upcoming races and reviews.

Cykloserver - Another good website that is bound to the leading publisher of biking maps. The server publishes reports from races and other events. There is also a handfull online map with a small database of trip tips (probably not so rich as bikemap.net).

Bike-forum - The leading forum about cycling, mainly biking.

Shops

You'll find many bike shops in Prague and in any major cities and they'll probably have a descent workshop to repair anything on your bike. Most of the shops have their on-line version with better prices.
