you think it's better to buy new one?... then could you give links of good bike shops in Zagreb, Split or Rijeka? i didn't plan to get it back to Ukraine, it will cost +70 euro by plane and i even cannot imagine what condition bike get after the flight but may be i'll try

[madone]

well, my plan is to spend about 2000 kun for bike in Zagreb and ride to Rijeka or take a train to Split, buy a bike and go to Dubrovnik and then up to Rijeka and Istra. Could you tell me how much time it may take? I plan for 3 weeks, should I need more...
moreover, i've already found a bike i want http://www.njuskalo.hr/mtb-bicikli/haro ... as-3149060 i'm 158 cm and 45 kg, that's why i simply cannot buy cheaper bikes with suspension though i like them too http://www.njuskalo.hr/mtb-bicikli/prod ... as-3153960 sure i doubt Haro will wait for me in September but all is possible:)... so, this is my story. And I respect Linux much

This is my advice, don`t buy bike rent one when you come to town. Every thing other than that would be only pain and suffering. Why ? You have to be in TOP condition to go on bike from town to town in Croatia in summer and even than is adventure. Here are 32C in shade and 40C on sun and pretty heavy mountain terrain to drive true. Did you think how will you carry your stuff(bags) on bike ? On your back on 40C ??!
Do your self a favor just rent a bike and enjoy your holiday...

Or you can travel by train. And put a bike on a train.
You can go from Zagreb to Rijeka, and later from Zagreb to Split.
And drive a bike when you arive there.

Ther are no organized transport of bikes in train or bus in Croatia, you are relying on available free space and good will of conductor in train.

This are bike rent prices from Split (maybe we can find something even cheaper then this)

Lately I have seen some train wagons that have areas where you can leave your bike. I am not sure if these wagons exist on trains that go to Dalmatia since I only travel by train in Eastern Croatia.

thank you, guys! you help me to make more real picture of my coming adventure... ok, i am not a masochist to carry my backpack on my back under such heat, but anyway i hope it will be much "colder" in September, won't it?
actually, i prefer not be linked with rent services cause my plans may be changed and i don't want to depend from rented bike. may be it is better to buy new one, what do you think? and if i like it i will carry it back to Ukraine:) i like the one with Proudly Croatian sign posted here in thread But thank you, madone, for the link, i will relay on it if the new one will cost the same as the rent one
regarding the places in train, i found that it is allowed to carry bike in trains http://www.hznet.hr/Default.aspx when i searched for trains from Zagreb to Split. I am not sure about ferries by the way...

p.s. if you ever need my help in Ukraine with bikes - you're welcome, guys!

You can take a bike on a ferry withouth problem.

Yes bikes can go on train, here is info in croatian http://www.hznet.hr/prijevozbicikala
But you have to now that "only some of trains have bike wagon" but dont say wich one, and they can carry up to 10 bikes.
But in all trains you can transport your bike like baggage that means that they have to be assembled and packed like personal baggage. Btw, you have to look after bike because they dont take responsibility from theft or damage...

This is good bike for 2500 kn http://www.proteajaska.com/index.php?ka ... od&id=1182
