Beautiful bikepaths! But...It's unbelievable, Irene! If pedestrians tried to enter a bike lane here, they would be smashed by bikers and then fined by traffic wardens! :) You have very polite cyclists and lenient guards. Springish greetings from exceptionally warm Poland! :) Beata

@ThisBeata The promenade bike lane is new and the palm trees contribute to its beauty. I have a stressful time cycling in Rethymno, because people ALWAYS walk on bike lanes! it is a MIRACLE I haven't run over someone yet, although a baby stroller almost threw me off the bike once! The only place I feel safe cycling is the marina; huge; no traffic; no pedestrians! I wish pedestrians were fined here, so we (cyclists) could actually enjoy 'our' bike lanes! Sunny greekings from sunny Rethymno! xxx

@ThisBeata Thanks for the lovely wishes, the sun will be shining the whole week (this week) and I will be heading to the countryside for some peaceful miles on my wheels! :) I don't know if you cycle in warm Poland, I hope you do!

Be careful, Irene... `May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face;` And may you always enjoy cycling! :)
