Bicycle routes of Cyprus

For real bicycle lovers - 4 in Pafos & 1 in Nicosia

Cycling is a sport that can be done on an amateur level and requires only a few things: a bike in excellent working condition, water, a spare tire, a cyclist (trying to reach, at least) in good physical shape and a road or a path to grow. And like all the sports, it's something that you learn, you never give up. Something like a cyclist I confirm. And after seeing the general cycling rules in Cyprus, the time has come to look at various cycling routes as proposed by various competent bodies or by the writer.
