TIPS FOR CYCLING IN ATHENS
Athens is not exactly a bike-friendly city, but on the other hand attitudes to cyclists have become much more aware and positive in recent years. Please remember the following:
- Athens remains a car-dominated city and the culture of the average Athenian vehicle driver can be summed up in the phrase “might makes right”.
- In practice cars have absolute priority over both cyclists and pedestrians.
- Do not assume that you can cross a zebra crossing if a vehicle is approaching.
- Even at pedestrian crossings with traffic lights you are strongly advised to double check and make sure that, irrespective of the lights, all oncoming vehicles have stopped.
- Pedestrian ways and crossings are areas contested by pedestrians, cyclists, bikers and occasionally even cars and vans.
