Copenhagenize is a blog about citizen cycling.

Locals have always been cycling in Cres, but, apart from those tiny foldy bikes that fit on yachts, I don’t remember many tourists riding bikes. Even our family did not always cycle. Up until the mid 80?s we used the personal boat to get about. We still have the boat, but chances of it leaving the garage are dismal. In 1990, to my surprise, my dad put the two pony bikes on the top of the car and brought them to Cres for good. For a while we were one of few vacationing families that used the bikes. On the beach, we used to leave them in a little nook which drove the diving instructor whose nook it was crazy. Well, a year or so ago, someone installed bike racks in front of the nook and boy, are there a lot of bikes now!

There is at least one more bike rack here, in front of the diving nook, that did not fit into the picture.
