Biking Around Cascais

Biking is said to be wonderful along the beaches in and around Cascais.

Travelers commenting on the web have widely different opinions about the quality of the bikes, but everyone seems to agree that biking is wonderful along the coast.

Probably want to check with the tourist office in Cascais, because some of the info on the web seems out of date.

This website has a nice map of a route from Sinta to Cascias.

I stumbled on this map, which can show routes and topography, among other factors:
There are some fun features to play with.
