Bicycle
Cycling is a popular way of getting around. Bikes can be transported for €2.80 in the bag-
gage compartments of IC and regional trains. Larger buses can also carry bikes as luggage.
Cycling is permitted on all roads except motorways. Larger towns and cities have dedicated
bicycle lanes and traffic lights.
Bicycle rental places are generally concentrated in the more popular tourist areas such as
Ljubljana, Bled, Bovec and Piran, though a fair few cycle shops and repair places hire them
out as well. Expect to pay from €1/5 per hour/day; some places may ask for a cash deposit
or a piece of ID as security.
