Biking in Hungary

Biking in Hungary.Definitely that is the way to travel, to meet people ,to figure out spaces, landscapes...If you don't have time too much you can go toward the balaton lake from Budapest and come back. it is from one week to 15 days.But take more time and cross Europa ! Hungarian people use a lot bikes. If you bring regular mountain bike you are sure you can find everything to fix it if you need it. You can even buy a bike there, there are cheap ones in Budapest.
