During this segment, we bid farewell to Poland and encountered a very challenging border crossing into Lithuania. As much as we were impressed by the cycling infrastructure in Poland, we were somewhat shocked by the absence of such infrastructure in Lithuania. We only benefited from cycling paths in few towns but most of the time we cycled on the road without any shoulders. On a positive note, we continued to be blessed with comfortable cycling weather (15-20C) and some tail winds helped us for a few days. We also experienced many more climbs in Lithuania – but still very few requiring us to walk. We found folks in this country a lot more friendlier than in Poland but also less courteous at road\/street intersections.<\/p>\n\n\n
